About princess engagement rings
The princess cut is the square done right: crisp corners, a brilliant-style facet pattern underneath, and more fire per dollar than almost any other shape. Princess engagement rings read modern and architectural on the hand — clean lines that suit minimalists and geometry lovers alike.
Every Aurelle princess setting is engineered for square stones, with V-tip prongs that shield the vulnerable corners. Pair any design with a certified natural or lab-grown princess diamond and we craft the ring to order in two to three weeks.
Choosing comes down to protection and proportion: prong or bezel corners, a near-perfect square ratio (1.00–1.05), and a setting height that suits daily wear.
Princess Engagement Rings FAQ
What is a princess cut diamond?+
It's a square diamond with a brilliant-style facet arrangement — the sparkle of a round, squared off. Introduced in the 1980s, it remains the most popular square shape for engagement rings.
Are princess cut diamonds cheaper than round?+
Generally yes — often 20–30% less per carat at the same quality. The square outline wastes less of the rough crystal during cutting, and that efficiency passes through to the price.
Do princess cut corners chip easily?+
The pointed corners are the shape's one vulnerability, which is why settings matter. V-tip prongs or a bezel shield the corners completely; every Aurelle princess setting is designed with corner protection in mind, and all rings carry a lifetime warranty.
Should I choose a natural or lab-grown princess diamond?+
Both are certified by GIA, IGI, or GCAL and are physically identical; lab-grown typically costs a fraction of natural at the same size and grade. Many couples put the difference into a larger stone or a pavé band.
What ratio should a princess cut be?+
For a true square look, stay between 1.00 and 1.05 length-to-width. Anything past about 1.08 starts reading as a rectangle, which can look intentional in an elongated setting but unintentional in a classic one.
Princess vs. cushion cut — which should I pick?+
Princess is sharp-cornered and contemporary; cushion is soft-cornered and romantic. If you like crisp geometry choose princess; if you want a vintage pillow-like glow choose cushion — brilliance is comparable in well-cut examples of both.
