Princess cut engagement rings are a modern classic, offering maximum sparkle in a square shape that rivals the round cut. With 57–76 facets and a 4-sided pyramidal profile, the princess cut is the most brilliant of all square-shaped diamonds. Its clean, angular design suits solitaire, halo, or three-stone settings.

A princess cut engagement ring is associated with a sharp, square shape and incredible light performance, making the cut one of the most popular options after the classic round. Its unique cut maximizes brilliance while maintaining clean, geometric lines that appeal to contemporary tastes. Cost efficiency is among the key advantages of princess cut diamond engagement rings. The process of cutting preserves more of the original stone, which makes them generally more affordable per carat than round diamonds with similar grades.
When choosing a princess cut diamond engagement ring one should consider the quality of the cut, symmetry of the stone and safety of the setting. Cut grade should be given the first priority since it has a direct effect on brilliance. Choose a stone that has a depth and table percent of 65 – 75% in order to maximise the light reflection. Selection of the appropriate princess cut ring setting is also essential. To protect the pointed corners and to add more durability consider having V-prongs, bezel or channel settings for the stones. When buying a small solitaire or a halo-style princess cut diamond ring, certification of a diamond (GIA or IGI) guarantees you the quality you are paying for.
