Princess Cut Engagement Rings
US $899.99
While the round brilliant cut is considered standard for diamond, with its shape and proportions nearly constant, the choice of fancy cut is influenced heavily by fashion.
For example, the step cut baguett - which accentuates a diamond's luster, whiteness, and clarity but downplays its fire - was all the rage during the Art Deco period.
The mixed Princess cut - which accentuates a diamond's fire and brilliance rather than its luster - is currently gaining popularity. The princess cut is also popular amongst diamond cutters: of all the cuts, it wastes the least of the original crystal.
In the 1960's, the Princess 144 was introduced with 144 facets and 8-fold symmetry. Not to be confused with the mixed Princess cut, the Princess 144 cut makes for a lively stone with good scintillation; the extra facets are cut under the girdle rather than subdivided. The extra care required for these sub-girdle facets benefits the finished stone by mitigating girdle irregularity and bearding (hairline fracturing).
