Being one of the most recent innovations of diamond industry, the
princess cut diamond has gained tremendous popularity particularly as engagement
rings. The square shape is the significant feature of the cut which
is attained by mixing both the classic step and brilliant cuts to design the stone.
Ridges are formed along the edges of the diamond using step cuts and thus the
top part would be left flat. More facets are added to increase the sparkle and
fire of the diamond using
brilliant cuts. The combination of the two cuts will result in approximately
fifty facets for the diamond making it look fabulous.

inclusions and flaws would not be as prominent. Flaws are usually less noticeable
and it is possible to have a gorgeous ring for
a lesser price if the stone is not perfect. However the additional facets

are also one of the least expensive diamond shapes
to make and this makes it more affordable.
