We’ve already gone over the warm glow of rose gold and explored the meaning of eternity wedding bands, this week we’ll be talking about the brilliantly beautiful princess cut diamond center.

The princess cut is no ordinary gem cut, it is one of the industry’s most important developments in the last 100 years. This revolutionary cut made its first appearance in the early 1960’s and changed the face of square cut diamonds. Other square cuts, while equally charming, had never had the same amount of brilliance and sparkle, with a square face, uncut corners and 76 facets the princess cut diamond presents even more fire and brilliance than the more popular brilliant round cut!  

An added benefit of the princess cut too is that it can usually be found for a slightly lower cost than a round cut of the same carat weight. That’s is due to the fact that during the cutting process only about 20% of the rough diamond is lost as opposed to 50% for round cuts.

The sparkle and truly distinctive look of a princess cut can really be appreciated in this customized Princesse Collection engagement ring, NK19455-18W. The clean lines and sharp corners of a princess cut are absolutely showcased by this stunning thirty-six round diamond frame. With two trapezoid diamond side stones, weighing 2/5cts. on their own, the linear appeal and modern flair of a princess cut shine through effortlessly.
