Elegance with an Edge
The princess cut is one of the most popular and modern diamond cuts, known for its sharp lines, brilliance, and contemporary charm. When crafted from a natural diamond, this shape showcases the raw beauty and rarity of Earth-formed gemstones.
Key Features:
Shape: Square or slightly rectangular with pointed corners
Facets: Typically, 57 or 76, maximizing brilliance
Cut Style: Modified brilliant — combines the sparkle of a round cut with the clean lines of a square
Face-Up Appearance: Modern, bold, and geometrically stunning
Why Choose a Princess Cut Natural Diamond?
- Maximum Sparkle
Its brilliant facet arrangement ensures exceptional fire and scintillation, rivaling the classic round cut. - Modern Yet Timeless
Popularized in the 1980s, the princess cut maintains a strong following due to its clean, angular aesthetic that suits contemporary styles. - Efficient Use of Rough
Princess cuts retain more of the original diamond rough than round cuts, often resulting in better value per carat. - Versatility
Suitable for a variety of settings — from solitaire to halo to three-stone rings. Perfect for engagement rings, earrings, and pendants.
Natural vs. Lab-Grown:
A natural princess cut diamond is created deep within the Earth under immense heat and pressure over billions of years — making it a truly rare treasure. Natural diamonds carry inherent value, history, and uniqueness compared to lab-grown alternatives.
Ideal Quality Parameters:
Cut: Very Good to Ideal — ensures maximum brilliance
Color: G to D (colorless to near-colorless for best sparkle)
Clarity: VS2 or higher — ensures minimal inclusions visible to the eye.
Carat: Popular in 0.50 ct to 2.00 ct for engagement rings
Tips for Buying a Princess Cut Natural Diamond:
- Check for symmetry – The square shape should be even, with sharp, unchipped corners.
- Ask for certification – Look for GIA or AGS grading to verify the diamond’s natural origin and quality.
- Consider setting protection – Since the corners are pointed, secure settings like V-prongs are recommended.
A princess cut natural diamond blends radiant beauty with a modern edge. It’s a bold yet elegant choice for those who appreciate sharp lines and unmatched brilliance — all while celebrating the rare, natural origins of a true diamond.
