History & Look of the Princess Cut Engagement Ring
The princess cut is a particularly versatile diamond cut. Princess cut diamonds take the shape of a square (equal on all sides), but on occasions will be slightly longer and appear somewhat rectangular. Among the various diamond cuts, including round brilliant, asscher, emerald, heart, oval, pear, and marquis, the princess cut is the second most popular cut for engagement rings, second only to the round brilliant cut.
A princess cut engagement ring is a wonderful alternative to the more traditional round brilliant cut as it maintains a similar brilliance and sparkle, and because it retains more of its source diamond when being shaped it is typically an economical choice for young couples looking to save some money.
