square cut diamonds just don’t measure up to round cut diamonds in terms of sparkle. Princess cut diamonds have changed all that with a finely tapered shape that allows sparkle to flow from the corners to the top enter portion of the gem.

Most square and rectangular gems have rounded corners. Since a princess cut diamond has distinctively pointy corners, it is important that the corners are protected. Choose a setting that will protect your princess cut diamond’s find corners.

Beyond sparkle, princess cut diamonds have another advantage. Giving a diamond a princess cut allows stones with various flaws and somewhat lower overall quality to be used. Basically, diamond flaws are not as readily apparent in princess cuts. Likewise, lower quality diamonds can be used in princess cut settings than many other types of cuts.
