Princess Cut Engagement Ring

Lets talk history.  Many people mistakenly believe that the princess diamond shape traces back to 1971. At that time, Basil Watermeyer patented the barion cut, a premier diamond shape at the time. However, this was a difficult cut to craft due to all the symmetrical lines. A similar stone, the quadrillion, was patented in 1979. This diamond bore 49 facets, the barion had more than 80.

While we know that these early designs introduced the princess cut, the popular shape stems back all the way to 1961. A London diamond cutter named Arpad Nagy created a new style referred to as the profile or princess cut. In the following years, the name “princess cut” stuck. Today, the diamond is referred to as a princess cut in the open market, and a square modified brilliant on most gem lab reports.

Princess cut engagement rings are a great fit for fun-loving and lively brides-to-be. The diamond shape attracts light and shines much like a round cut for a lower price. Less stone weight is eliminated during the cutting process. While round diamonds are trimmed down around the edges, the princess cut maintains its angles and weight making it a favorite shape of diamond cutters.

Is the Princess cut more or less expensive?
It usually is a bit less expensive than round but there are many other factors that come in to play.

Does a princess sparkle less than a round cut?
Not really but the cut and depth of a Princess diamond is more important.  When getting a Princess cut diamond, you want to make sure it is properly cut.

Why is it called the Princess cut?
Honestly, we don't know.  We just know there was a guy called Arpad Nagy that called what was known as the proifile cut, the princess cut.
