Princess Cut Engagement Rings

Choosing A Princess Cut Engagement Ring

Square or nearly square, with sharp corners and brilliant faceting, the princess cut gives a crisp, contemporary look with sparkle close to a round brilliant. It makes efficient use of the rough diamond, so a princess cut often shows well for its carat weight. A princess cut is durable when its four corners are protected. Those corners are the most exposed points of the stone, so they should always be held by prongs or a frame of metal that keeps them safe. Setting choices follow her taste. A solitaire shows the princess outline most clearly, a halo or double halo adds size, and a hidden halo adds sparkle from the side while keeping the top view clean and geometric. The wedding band that suits a princess cut best is a straight band, which sits flush against the square outline and keeps the lines of the set tidy and modern. Every Amorati center is lab-grown, E-F color and VS+ clarity, from 1 to 3 carats. For someone who loves clean angles and bright sparkle in equal measure, the princess cut delivers both, with a sharp, confident silhouette that stands apart from softer shapes.
