Characteristics of the Princess Cut Diamond Engagement Ring
The princess cut diamond is a member of the “fancy shapes” family of diamond cut. It is a type of mixed diamond cut or modified brilliant which uses the techniques necessary to make both modified brilliant cuts and step cuts.
This diamond shape can have a wide range of number of facets, anywhere from 53 to 144 facets. This is mainly determined by the shape (square vs. rectangular) and the way that the pavillion is cut.
The majority of princess cuts include 58 or 76 facets. Cuts with fewer than 50 facets will not get the famous brilliance and fire that this cut is known for.
Why Choose a Princess Cut Diamond Engagement Ring

Carat per carat, they cost less than other cuts. This is because you have less waste diamond when cutting a princess cut than other cuts.

The History of the Princess Cut
Unlike the cushion cut, princess cut is one of the newer diamond cuts, having been created during the 1960s. It has become more popular lately as a more distinctive alternative to the more popular round brilliant cut.
This cut originated in the early form of the French cut, having a step-modified Double-French or Cross cut crown and a variety of unique, chevron-shaped facets in the pavilion which, when combined, lend a distinct cross-shaped reflection when the stone is viewed directly through the table.
