Fire and brilliance

One of the reasons why so many people love Princess cut engagement rings is because they get to benefit from a level of fire and brilliance that rivals the Round Brilliant cut in a more contemporary shape. Some people prefer the sharp, modern appearance of a Princess diamond, and not everyone is a fond of the round stones.

Affordability

Princess cut diamond engagement rings are also more affordable than Round Brilliant cut diamonds. The reason they have a lower price-per-carat is because there is a greater yield during the diamond cutting process, as less waste is created. The princess cut boasts a four sided pyramid shape, which is very similar to a half of the octahedron rough stone. This means that a Princess Cut can be taken from each side of the stone, allowing for little waste.
