History of Princess Cut Engagement Rings

The princess cut engagement ring design is a relatively new style in the world of diamond engagement rings. It was created in the early 1980s by Betzalel Ambar and Israel Itzkowitz, two renowned diamond cutters from Israel. Betzalel Ambar and Israel Itzkowitz set out to create a diamond cut that combined the best aspects of both the round brilliant and the emerald cut. They wanted a square or rectangular diamond with the same brilliance and fire as a round brilliant. After much experimentation, they developed the princess cut with 58 facets and pointed corners.

Before the evolution of the princess cut, the most popular diamond shapes for engagement rings were the round brilliant and emerald cuts. While the round brilliant cut had existed for centuries and remained a classic choice for years, the emerald cut came into vogue in the 1920s and 1930s. The princess cut was an instant success particularly in the United States, where it quickly became one of the most popular diamond shapes for engagement rings. Its modern, contemporary look and brilliant sparkle made it a favorite among brides-to-be.

Even today, the halo princess cut design is very popular for engagement rings, especially among those who prefer a sophisticated look. It is often set in a solitaire style but can also be set with accent stones or in a halo setting. The princess cut is a versatile and timeless diamond shape that will remain a popular choice in years to come.

Accent Diamonds: Accent diamonds in halo engagement rings may vary in shape and size. If you want, you can go for smaller round diamonds or larger princess cut diamonds for added sparkle.

Lifestyle: Consider your partner's lifestyle and daily activities when choosing a ring.
