 Princess Cut Diamond
This is a square or rectangular cut with numerous sparkling facets. It is a relatively new cut and often finds its way into solitaire engagement rings. Flattering to a hand with long fingers, it is often embellished with triangular stones at its sides.

Depth percentages of 70% to 78% are not uncommon. * View approximate carat size (girdle diameter) of Princess cut diamonds in millimetres.
