Introduction to Princess Cut Engagement Rings:
Just like nature itself encompasses beauty in all its variations, diamonds are cut in many shapes, one of which is the princess cut. A relatively recent diamond shape addition, the princess cut of today was created in the 1980s by two diamond traders, Betzalel Ambar and Israel Itzkowitz. It is widely popular with today’s brides who value a clean, modern aesthetic. In essence, the princess cut is the square version of the brilliant cut; its name alone is an invitation to wonder. Renowned for its stunning square shape and clean lines, its brilliance is comparable to that of a round diamond and can have up to 76 facets that reflect light with a deep fire.

The Distinctive Appeal of Princess Cut
The square shape of a princess-cut diamond, with its defined corners and clear facets, gives it a modern and stylish appearance. This clean, precise geometry enhances shine and creates dazzling highlights. It is indeed a contemporary look and a popular choice for engagement rings, representing a combination of classic elegance and striking design.
The Princess cut's multiple facets allow more light to be dispersed through the stone, making it the most brilliant of the square and rectangle-shaped stones. Among the different cuts of diamonds, the princess cut is one of the most popular for engagement rings thanks to its modern and unique design.
Metal and Design Choices
At Gabriel & Co., we offer engagement rings in a plethora of metals.
White gold bands are radiant and always popular. Naturally, white gold glistens with a neutral color as the alloy gives a white hue; it is reminiscent of silver, but its gleam is worthy of gold.
On the other hand, yellow gold engagement rings exude classic elegance and nobility. Timeless in essence and look, it symbolizes refinement and unwavering values, making it the ideal metal for engagement rings.
Rose gold engagement rings are inherently feminine and chic. Rose gold is a popular choice that gives a delicate pinkish hue to gold bands and makes for a very catchy engagement ring with a sparkling princess cut diamond.
Timeless, rare and durable, platinum continues to be the most popular choice for engagement rings. A perfect canvas for highlighting diamonds, it is a great alternative to gold that stands the test of time.
The center stone is the highlight of the engagement ring, therefore we recommend choosing a polished band in a solitaire setting to complement the angular style of a princess cut diamond for a classic and clean look that allows the diamond to shine. For a more contemporary look, you can choose a pavé band or a halo setting for even more brilliance.
Princess Cut Diamond Characteristics
As with any diamond, princess-cut diamonds are assessed by the approved industry standard criteria known as the 4 Cs of diamonds, which are: Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat weight.
As with any diamond, princess-cut diamonds are assessed by the approved industry standard criteria known as the 4 Cs of diamonds, which are: Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat weight.
Clarity is another of the four quality criteria referring to the purity of the stone. Diamonds can achieve a supreme brilliance that no other stone can achieve. Clarity sets the stone apart by the number of inclusions present in the diamond. The princess cut is the ideal shape to minimize and mask these inclusions, allowing for greater shine and luster. Thanks to the unique shape and polishing techniques used when producing a princess-cut diamond, any impurities present in the stone are less visible to the naked eye.
Color is the third of the 4 Cs. For this criterion, diamond grading specialists assign the stone a letter ranging from D to Z: D being the best grade and Z the lowest. Color grades D to H, refer to almost colorless white diamonds perfect for engagement rings while a Z color has a visible yellow tint and is not desirable. Color is a personal choice, but white diamonds remain the most popular option for engagement rings symbolizing purity and loyalty. It’s the classic image that comes to mind when we think of diamonds.
Diamond weight is measured in carats, the last of the 4 Cs. The higher the carat weight, the bigger the volume of the stone. Bigger does not necessarily mean better however as the other C’s must also be considered. A small carat weight stone with a better cut, clarity and color can cost much more than a bigger carat stone with a poor grade in the other C’s. Ultimately it’s important to strike a balance that fits within your budget and aesthetic needs when choosing a center stone.
Each diamond is truly unique just like your love story.
Setting Styles for Princess Cut Engagement Rings
Since Antiquity, engagement rings have represented a symbol of commitment and love. But what setting should you choose for your engagement ring? Let us explore some of the most popular choices available to today’s brides.
The most popular setting for an engagement ring today is the classic solitaire. Delicately set on the band, a solitaire diamond exudes elegance and sophistication. It is the first image that comes to mind when we think of engagement rings. The solitaire setting allows the center stone to be the true star of the show and is easily paired with almost any type of wedding band solidifying it as the most versatile engagement ring setting.
More recently, other setting styles began to gain popularity, and have become a classic choice on their own. The halo setting features a center diamond encircled by smaller accent diamonds which serve to accentuate the center even more and create a dramatic, sparkling visual effect. This popular setting, with its mesmerizing display of brilliance commands even greater attention.
A three-stone setting, on the other hand, is a cross between the two. It features a large center stone with two smaller diamonds flanking its sides. The three-stone setting guides the eye to the center stone, while giving it that extra spark on your finger. In addition, the meaning of the three stone representing the couple’s past, present and future makes it a popular choice for those seeking a deeper meaning in their jewelry.
Your unique love story is worthy of a unique engagement ring that represents the bond of love connecting you and your betrothed. From vintage to modern designs, you can choose from a diverse plethora of settings that cater to your personal style aesthetic. Consider incorporating meaningful elements such as engravings to add sentimental value.
