Princess Cut Diamonds

When you invest in the beauty of a princess cut diamond, you make way for instant charm in your life! Because of its extraordinary brightness, the Princess cut diamond is often regarded as the best of all diamond cuts. This cut has significant diagonal measures, making it look larger than a round cut diamond of the same carat weight.

If you've ever wondered why a princess cut diamond is called that, you're not alone. In 1971, a diamond cutter in London invented a "profile cut" that was a new variation of the common diamond cut. Ygal Perlman, Betzalel Ambar, and Israel Itzkowitz popularised the term some years later. It represents the cut's resemblance to a princess's tiara. Another name for Princess cut diamonds is square modified brilliant. From the front, these seem square, however the design is reminiscent of inverted pyramids with two to four chevron patterns on the bottom of the cut.

When it comes to choosing the carat weight of your princess cut lab diamond, there are two things you should consider, your budget and style preference. It is always a good thing to set up a budget before buying a loose lab diamond. This way you can have an estimate of the carat weight you will invest on. If you’re a fan of the big, chunky diamonds, then you can go for a higher carat weight and a better colour grading. Remember, it's not the carat weight that decides the beauty of the diamond, rather, there are many factors that contribute to the overall shine of the diamond. At Friendly Diamonds, you get the satisfaction of lab diamonds that have been certified by GIA and IGI.

Choose a Princess cut lab diamond to design a piece of jewellery that reflects your individual taste. Whether it's a one-carat princess cut diamond set in a pave setting for a glittering solitaire ring or a three-carat colourless princess cut diamond in a side stone setting, the world is your oyster when it comes to using your creativity. The allure of a princess cut diamond will definitely leave you spellbound.
