If you have fallen for the idea of a diamond engagement ring, the princess cut has to be your calling. The cut, the clarity and the beauty of the stone is simply enchanting. Basically, you will find it difficult to keep your eyes off of it. To those who don’t know, a princess cut was originally invented by Betzalel Ambar and Israel Itzkowitz.

It is a fancy cut and extremely popular choice for engagement rings. With its four sided design, this pyramid shaped diamond looks very pretty. Thanks to the cut and clarity, the shine of this brilliant diamond is stunning. Carat for carat, the princess cut is about 10% less than a same-weight round diamond, when it comes to its crown surface area. The diameter increases slightly around the corner and it is these details that make the design even more appealing.

Usually, princess cut diamonds are square shaped. Occasionally, you may also come across a rectangular version. Irrespective of the shape, the appeal of the princess cut supersedes all. Basically, a length to width ratio of less than 1.05 appears quite similar to the square.

Another unique sign of the princess cut diamond is that the corner edges are lapped up in a protective shielding to prevent the chipping off from the edges. For engagement rings, this stone is a preferred choice because it looks extremely classy.

Apart from the cut and clarity, an important factor that comes into play when choosing the princess cut engagement ring is the depth of the stone. You may require a little bit of research and reference to identify the stone but it is totally worth the effort.

Browse the internet to do a little bit of research else you can also get some references from around, friends and family. Also, choosing a diamond ring is not rocket science so keep your cool and just go about the entire process in an orderly fashion.

You can also remember to ask for proper certification from the jeweler, this authenticates the purity of the stone. Even in the future, if there is some conflict regarding the purity of the stone, this certificate is what authenticates your purchase and will help you claim value for it.

That’s about it, with these few tips, you can end up getting a stone that is exquisite, pretty and of course unique!
