DIAMOND SHAPE

The Princess cut diamond

Square, crisp, resolutely modern, the princess cut is the choice for those who prefer straight lines to curves.

Origin

Invented in the 1980s, far more recent than the historic cuts, one of the rare fancy shapes born in the 20th century rather than the Renaissance.

Character

A square (or slightly rectangular) shape with sharp corners, brilliant-cut: it captures almost as much light as a round, with an entirely different silhouette.

Ideal for

Those who love clean geometric lines, and want a diamond that looks visually larger for the same weight.

Dealer's tip

The four corners are this cut's weak point, I always check they're properly protected by the setting before recommending it for everyday wear.
