Princess Diamond Rings

Princess diamond rings are a favorite style for their fire and brilliance making it the second most popular cut for diamond solitaires. Relatively new to the jewelry world, the princess cut was created in the 1960s and is sometimes referred to as a square modified brilliant. This is because, like the round brilliant cut, the princess cut efectively produces the same brilliance. Shaped like an invereted pyramid, the princess cut retains roughly 80% of the original rough cut diamonds. Round brilliant cuts generally only maintain 50%. Forthis reason, the cut is extremely popular amongs jewelers and is often less expensive than round briliant cut. More modern and increasingly popular among stylish circuits, a princess cut diamond engagement ring is an excellent way to ensure you're going to get the right answer.
