The princess cut diamond is one of the most chic cuts out there and is the most popular for brides now. With its clean cut sides and many faceted look, it will be perfect for your girl. Here are some things to look for when considering a princess cut diamond engagement ring:
- Princess cut is a modern flair to the classic round.
- The princess cut must be exactly square in dimensions.
- When looking at the stone straight down, one must be able to see a clear X reflected by the light. If this X is off balance or a little off kilter, this is a result of a poorly cut diamond.
Princess cut diamonds may seem simplistic in nature, but this cut can be altered to give it a modern and fun flair. Often the princess cut is flipped around to give it a diamond shaped look, another way to give it a defining look is to add baguettes to the side of the ring with any square or rectangular cut, such as an emerald or cushion cut. The metal also plays a key part in helping to give the princess cut definition. Platinum is a lovely metal to accentuate the bold lines of the princess cut. However yellow gold is also a good metal for a unique look.
When purchasing the princess cut for your girl, make sure her personality matches with the cut. Is she a princess? Does she love the trends and tend to follow the ways of fashion? Is she one with great designing skills and loves to shop? This ring will capture the essence of your girl if this eludes to her personality.
