Princess Cut Engagement Rings

Princess cut diamonds are often considered excellent value compared to round brilliants of a similar carat weight. Because the square shape retains more of the original rough diamond during cutting, less material is lost in the process, and this efficiency is typically reflected in the price per carat. Our gemologists can help you find the right stone for your budget.

The sharp corners of a princess cut are its most vulnerable point, as corners concentrate stress and can chip if knocked sharply. However, the risk is managed through the choice of setting. Four-claw settings that protect each corner are the standard recommendation, and our team will always advise on the safest setting for your stone.

White gold and platinum are the most popular choices, as they complement the cool, graphic quality of the cut. Yellow and rose gold also work beautifully, particularly if you're drawn to a warmer, more romantic aesthetic. The choice is a personal one, and our team can help you explore the options.

The princess cut delivers exceptional sparkle and some would argue it rivals the round brilliant in its fire and brilliance, particularly in a well-cut stone. Its faceting structure is designed specifically to maximise light return, and a high-quality princess cut will perform brilliantly in all lighting conditions.
