What makes a princess-cut diamond different from other square shapes?
The princess cut is a "square modified brilliant," meaning it combines the modern square silhouette with the high-facet pattern of a round diamond. This results in more sparkle than a step-cut shape like an emerald cut. You can compare the brilliance of our princess diamonds against other shapes at our Newton showroom.
Are the corners of a princess-cut diamond at risk of chipping?
The sharp corners of a princess cut are its most delicate feature. At our Newton Centre studio, we prioritize settings—such as V-prong or bezel styles—that specifically wrap around and protect these corners, ensuring your diamond remains secure and beautiful for years to come.
Does a princess-cut diamond look larger than a round diamond of the same carat?
Because princess cuts have a larger diagonal measurement, they can often appear larger than a round diamond of the same weight. Our local clients in the Newton area often find that they can achieve a bold, substantial look with a princess cut while staying within their desired budget.
Which metal best complements a princess-cut engagement ring?
While 14K white gold and platinum are popular for a crisp, modern look, yellow gold provides a stunning contrast to the sharp geometric lines of a princess cut. We can show you both options at our Newton workshop to see which metal tone best enhances the color and fire of your specific diamond.
