If you have ever seen a princess cut engagement ring then you will know why it is the second most popular engagement ring on the market. The popularity of this shape of diamond is only increasing as the years go by.
Princess cut diamonds are either square or rectangular in shape with pointed corners and resembles an upside down pyramid. The princess cut diamond is beautiful and very unique looking. The cut also allows for maximum brilliance and sparkle within the diamond due to the way light reacts within the diamond.
In fact, this particular cut of diamond wasn't even available until around 30 years ago. It's only gained popularity since due to it's magnificent purity or quality. It has seventy six facets which is comparable to the brilliant cut diamond, without losing any of it's carat during the cutting process.
The only downside to buying a princess cut diamond is that due to the square shape the diamond has pointed corners and if not careful can chip. The way to safeguard against this is to buy a setting that protects these corners against chipping. It is always a safe bet to be careful with your diamond and to try and not hit it against the wall etc. This goes without saying when it comes to any diamond and not just the princess cut.
As far as price goes, it really depends on how big the diamond is, what alloy you decide to purchase, and whether or not you are designing your own ring or not. The 4 C's are the most important. They 4 C's stands for cut, clarity, color and carat. Diamonds with no color is extremely rare and therefore more valuable. Clarity refers to the inclusions in the diamond which might look like little black specs. The less inclusions the better quality the diamond. These factors all come into play and there are princess cut engagement rings that fit all price ranges. You can read more about the 4 C's on my website just below this article.
I would recommend you shop online from one of the major wholesale diamond dealers to find that perfect princess cut engagement ring. I saved $1500 on mine by doing this. Please do me a favor and study the 4 C's a bit before you make a decision.
