Princess Cut Engagement Rings
With Clarity lets you easily create your dream engagement ring by choosing a setting, selecting the diamond size and quality, and picking the metal you prefer. Princess cut diamonds are a popular cut because they’re durable, uniquely shaped and emit plenty of eye-catching sparkle.
Princess cut diamonds are a square-shaped cut that is the second most popular cut behind the round brilliant. Facets of 50 to 58 are acceptable for princess cut diamonds, but no matter how many facets, they’ll give maximum fire and sparkle. The square attributes of a princess cut also mean the gem retains more of the rough stone in the cutting process. To ensure your princess cut gemstone is durable, make sure the points are protected by prongs.
Once you’ve decided on a princess cut diamond, it’s time to select a setting. Whether you want a classic solitaire or a setting with accent diamonds lining the band, With Clarity has hundreds of options. Here are only some of the style categories:
- Solitaire: A solitaire places all of the attention on the center stone. It’s timeless, classic and a gorgeous way to showcase your center stone.
- Hidden halo: Instead of a row of diamonds that frames the center stone like in a traditional halo ring, a hidden halo sits underneath the center stone toward the stone’s base. If you look at your engagement ring from the side, you’ll see a hidden line of glittery diamonds (or another gemstone). This hidden detail can make the center stone appear larger because of the extra diamonds, and also adds some additional sparkle without taking the attention away from the center stone.
- Halo: A halo setting has the center stone surrounded by smaller stones, which creates the illusion that it looks bigger.
- Side stones: You can find a variety of settings with various side stones, such as baguettes, round, marquise, etc. Look at some of the creative ways With Clarity incorporates side stones into their settings.
- Pavé: The term pavé in a ring’s description, it refers to the smaller diamonds set closely together on the setting. The small diamonds add additional sparkle and provide a unique look. Pavé diamonds are held in place with metal prongs or beads to look like a continuous area or line of small diamonds.
Within each setting, you have customization options depending upon the design. Some settings allow you to choose the ring’s width or the size of the center stone.
Another customization option is the type of metal. You can choose 14 or 18K yellow, rose, or white gold as well as platinum. Keep in mind that the metal choice impacts the look of the ring. Select one that looks good with your center stone and represents your style and preferences.
Once your setting and metal are ready to go, it’s time to select the center stone. With Clarity allows you to choose between natural and lab diamonds. Natural diamonds are a classic choice for engagement rings, but more are choosing lab-created diamonds. They’re growing in popularity because lab-made diamonds are a more affordable, sustainable diamond alternative that sparkles like a natural diamond. While you’re browsing center stones, you can filter the type of diamonds based on the cut quality, color, clarity, and carat to ensure you find the perfect diamond for your engagement ring.
FAQs
What is a princess cut lab grown diamond engagement ring?
Princess cut lab diamond engagement rings feature a square-shaped diamond set as the center stone. The square to rectangular cut can have between 50 and 58 facets. Because this cut has facets, it belongs in the round brilliant family. The unique shape of the princess means it retains more of the rough stone while it’s being cut.
What are the benefits of choosing a princess cut engagement ring?
Princess cuts are uniquely shaped and have brilliance. They also can appear larger than other cuts with the same carat weight because princess cuts have a large surface area with a shallow crown and a deep pavilion.
Is a princess engagement ring worth more or less than a round engagement ring?
Princess and round engagement rings are worth the same amount because their value is based upon the quality and rarity of the diamond. In terms of cost, round cut diamonds generally cost more than princess cut diamonds. You can typically get a larger princess-cut stone for the same amount of money you would spend on a round-cut diamond engagement ring of comparable size and quality.
How are princess cut engagement rings and asscher cut engagement rings different?
Asscher cuts look similar to emerald cuts because they have step cuts rather than facets, but they are square shaped rather than rectangular like an emerald cut. Princess cuts are in the brilliant cut group because its facets maximize a stone's brilliance and sparkle. Asscher cut diamonds are typically cut to emphasize the stone's clarity, but they also tend to have wider and more dramatic flashes of light.
What are the best metal choices for princess lab grown diamond engagement rings?
Platinum and gold are the most popular metals for lab grown diamond engagement rings. Which metal you choose depends upon the diamond’s quality, budget, and your personal preferences.
