PRINCESS CUT ENGAGEMENT RINGS

Because of the perfectly flat edges of a princess shape diamond, trilliant side stone diamonds work particularly will with the princess cut diamond. Princess shaped diamonds are the least expensive diamond rings when we look at the cost per carat because of the efficiency with which they can be cut from a naturally formed rough diamond. No-one has been able to truly explain why rough diamonds take on the outlined princess shape when being formed under immense levels of heat and pressure. Other diamond shapes, such as oval, emerald, round, pear and cushion cut diamonds, are less efficient to cut from rough diamonds and therefore more expensive. The square uniformity, and brilliant cut, are the main attractions of princess shaped diamond. Emily Ratajkowski’s square shaped dazzler was recently worked with a pear shape in one of the most original rings ever created. Her choice of a 4 carat pear placed next to a 3ct princess was unusual but a stroke of genius.  The bold simplicity, along with the daring of placing two large diamonds together, well and truly paid off.  The architectural uniformity of the princess, set in juxtaposition to the teardrop elegance of the pear created an unlikely diamond shape symbiosis.
