DOES A PRINCESS CUT DIAMOND SPARKLE ?



May 2, 2022

Princess cut diamonds have an inverted pyramid shape. They appear square and
have an x-shape within their numerous microscopic facets when viewed from above.
The princess cut diamond's geometric motifs give it a striking, modern look.

The princess cut diamond has a modified version of the round brilliant cut
diamond's faceting pattern, which allows for great brilliance and fire. When
compared to other shapes, this modified faceting pattern can have greater
diversity. Princess cut diamonds, commonly known as square modified brilliant
diamonds, can contain 50 to 58 facets. They can also differ in the number of
chevrons. Princess cut diamonds often have two or four chevron facets.

Arpad Nagy, a London-based diamond cutter, coined the term "princess cut" in the
1960s. Nagy had created a square cut with an x-shaped facet pattern as a
variation on the French cut. His design was known as the profile cut or the
princess cut. Around the same time, other diamond cutters, such as South
Africa's Basil Watermeyer, invented their own square diamond cuts. Watermeyer
invented the Barion cut, an 81-facet rectangular diamond with a brilliant-cut on
its rectangular shape. Other diamond cutters would create new square cuts and
name them after themselves.

Princess cut diamonds offer an appealing price point in addition to superb
brilliance and a remarkable aesthetic. Princess cut diamonds are typically 20%
to 40% less expensive than round diamonds. This is due, in part, to the fact
that princess cut diamonds are fancy shaped, and all fancy shaped diamonds are
less expensive than round diamonds. However, because of the way they are cut,
princess cut diamonds have a price advantage over other fancy forms. When two
princess cut diamonds are placed table to table, they have nearly the same form
as a raw diamond crystal. This implies that cutting princess diamonds produces
relatively little rough diamond waste, allowing diamond cutters to keep prices
low.

The solitaire engagement ring setting design is the most popular for princess
cut diamonds. Princess cut diamond solitaires are popular because of their
beautiful, geometric design, which looks stunning in a simple solitaire
engagement ring. Prong settings are more popular than bezel settings for
princess cut solitaires, possibly because prong settings allow princess cuts to
retain more of their clarity.

When purchasing a centre diamond, the first thing you should seek for is a
diamond grading report. A diamond grading report includes information on the
attributes of a diamond, such as its carat weight, cut grade, colour grade, and
clarity grade. This report can tell you a lot about the quality and beauty of a
diamond. Even more significant, a diamond grading report verifies that your
diamond is a genuine diamond with the properties stated by the seller. If you
want to ensure the authenticity of your centre stone, only purchase one that
comes with a grading report from a renowned gemstone grading laboratory, such as
the GIA or EGL USA.

Every diamond shape demonstrates the 4Cs of diamonds—cut, colour, clarity, and
carat weight—in a unique way. Princess cut diamonds are comparable in size per
carat to round cut diamonds because they are both proportionate shapes. There
are, however, specific factors for princess cut diamond cut grade, colour grade,
and clarity grade.

Diamond cut grade is a measurement of how skillfully a diamond was cut, which
has a significant impact on the sparkle and symmetry of the diamond. Princess
cuts, on the other hand, do not have a defined sort of diamond cut grade. The
GIA only rates the Polish and Symmetry of princess cut diamonds, not their
overall cut. The reason for this is that there is no agreement among the diamond
industry on what constitutes a great cut for princess cut diamonds.

So, since princess cut diamonds do not receive cut grades, how can you determine
your cut quality? The finer nuances on the diamond's grading report must be
examined. In general, we'd seek for a length to width ratio of 1.00 to 1.05, a
table percentage of less than 75 percent, a depth percentage of between 68 and
75 percent, and Polish and Symmetry grades of Good or above.

When deciding on a colour grade for a princess cut diamond, keep in mind that
they tend to display colour a little better than round diamonds, especially at
their narrow corners. As a result, you don't want to choose a colour grade that
is too low. For white gold or platinum settings, a princess cut diamond with a
colour grade of H, I, or higher is a decent rule of thumb. You may usually get
away with a J colour grading for princess cut diamonds in rose gold or yellow
gold settings.

The three primary distinctions between round and princess cut diamonds are
elegance, radiance, and cost. When compared to princess cut diamonds, which are
more bold and modern, round diamonds have a softer, more classic appearance.
Round brilliant cut diamonds are slightly more brilliant than princess cut
diamonds. Round diamonds are also significantly more expensive than princess cut
diamonds, costing between 20% and 40% more on average.
