Princess cut diamond rings are popular with buyers looking for a lot of sparkle and a lot of stone for their money. This is because the princess-cut (or square modified brilliant) diamond retains about 80% of the rough diamond as opposed to 50% of the rough diamond retained by round brilliant cut diamonds of the same weight.
Since their arrival on the ring design scene in the 1960s, princess-cut diamond rings have become one of the most popular ring choices for engagement rings. This beautiful diamond ring design is justifably popular - when the princess-cut diamond is viewed directly through a table it makes a distinctive, striking cross-shaped reflection, the face-up shape of the princess cut diamond is square (or rectangular) and the elegant profile view is similar to that of an inverted pyramid. The princess-cut gave square diamonds their sparkle back. View the princess-cut diamond ring design.
