We’ve shared the latest celebrity square halo trend and the elegance of a princess cut diamond, this week is a slight twist with major impact, the diagonal set square cut diamond!

For those who love to turn a frown upside down and can’t help but see the world from a different perspective a diagonal set diamond may just be the unique feature to make your ring as one of a kind as you are. Traditionally square cut diamonds are set, as their name implies, squarely centered and on a horizontal axis. While this is a beautiful design choice for anyone who gravitates towards a classic style the diagonally set square cut diamond is for an adventurous love.

FM26981-18W, from our new Natalie K for Forevermark Bridal Collection, is a fantastic example. A four prong setting on a diamond lined band may be simple in style but with just a 90˚ turn it becomes a statement piece. 42 diamonds sparkle along the shank as well as up the prong and around your diamond’s pavilion.

Another option would be to combine the chic and distinctive diagonally set diamond center with the added benefits of a brilliant diamond halo! FM26979-18W is a dazzling 18k white gold engagement ring which offers a low set prong center mounting surrounded by a radiant 20 diamond frame. This adds emphasis to your captivatingly set center as well as size and sparkle.

Natalie K knows that there are endless options and variations of engagement rings, but what we care about is that you find the right one for you. That is the reason behind our weekly trend report, presenting options you may not have considered and information that will help guide you in the ever important ring selection process! 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.
