Princess Cut Engagement Rings

The princess cut engagement rings stand as the definitive second most popular choice in the world of bridal jewelry, a sophisticated rival to the classic Round Brilliant. This cut is celebrated for its unique combination of contemporary, geometric precision and the intense, fiery sparkle traditionally associated with round diamonds.

The defining characteristic of the princess cut engagement rings is its square or near-square profile when viewed from above, coupled with the intricate faceting of a brilliant cut. Unlike step cuts (like the Emerald), the Princess Cut utilizes 50 to 70 complex, angled facets, often arranged in distinctive chevron patterns on the pavilion. This maximizes light refraction and dispersion, resulting in exceptional scintillation (flash and sparkle).

The princess cut engagement ring is highly versatile and looks stunning whether set as a simple solitaire, framed by a sparkling halo for enhanced size and glamour, or flanked by side stones (such as baguettes or trilliants) in a three-stone setting. It is the perfect choice for the modern wearer who desires the classic fire of a brilliant diamond but prefers a distinct, geometric silhouette.
