Q: Are princess cut diamonds a good value?

The princess was specifically designed to optimize the sparkle of a raw diamond that lacks the depth for cuts like round and cushion. They're also an amazing value because of the economy of the cut. They lose much less raw material than rounds when they are cut from a rough stone. Learn more in our guide to diamond shape .

Unlike the round, the cut of this shape isn't standardized, letting you choose the qualities that give you the look you'll love. Whether it's cut for bold flashes of light or smoldering scintillation, or with a square or rectangular profile, the princess cut is the ultimate in variation.

A unique ring setting

What an amazing shopping experience! I wanted a ring with a diamond that would set off the room. I knew she wanted a princess cut, set in a unique compass/flag setting. With this, I had to work with a jewelry (Bryan C) to get it accomplished. He worked diligently to ensure the diamond, ring and setting were perfect.
