Diamond Engagement Rings: The Popular Princess Cut
A modern diamond cut that has been gaining a lot of popularity recently is the Princess Cut. Supposedly introduced in 1960, the Princess Cut features a rectangular shape and is considered the runner up to the Round Brilliant cut. Diamond consumers favor the Princess Cut because the qualities of this particular cut feature better color, clarity and cut quality. For all your diamond experts out there, I’m sure you already know what I’m talking about, but for those of you who are new to the diamond market, color, clarity and cut quality are essential to a great diamond, and more importantly great diamond engagement rings.
The color of a quality diamond should transmit visible light and appear as colorless. The clarity of the diamond should be blemish-free and internally perfect. When diamonds are graded, they are magnified 10x to evaluate clarity. Diamond experts say that when it comes to the cut of a Princess cut, it’s a bit trickier to evaluate to the naked eye and ordinary person. However, many women and expectation men waiting to propose are beginning to prefer the Princess Cut because of its distinct and sharp rectangular shape. When paired with platinum or white gold and a diamond studded band, a diamond engagement ring featuring a Princess Cut will be sure to please.
