I Recommend Princess Cut Diamond Rings Part 2

In part 1, I mentioned that princess cut diamond rings have my highest recommendations because of two reasons: the "shock" factor and the price tag. If you haven't read princess cut diamond engagement ring part 1, it would be a good idea to read that first before continuing here.

Princess Cut Diamond Engagement Rings: The Price Tag

If you are looking for a less expensive stone, the best value on a per-carat basis, and an elegant sparkle all-round, the princess cut diamond rings are the way to go. Here is why:

Since the cut is square rather than round, princess cut diamond rings make use of the diamond more efficiently than the more common round brilliant. In order words, this is the most cost-effective way to cut a diamond because there is less wastage. What this means for you is, better bang for your buck! Princess cut diamonds with the same width and diameter as round brilliant diamonds can weigh more because they retain the corners. Not to mention this creates a more spectacular look when they two are put side by side. In fact, if we compare princess cut diamonds to most other cuts, they often cost less per carat for this very reason.



When you examine these rings in detail, you might find that some ladies princess cut diamond rings have prongs. If they do, this is simply a precautionary measure emphasized by the designers to protect the corners of the square shaped diamonds. Whether the ring of your choice has these prongs or not, the jewelry designer would have considered the durability of the ring, and so I wouldn't sweat over it. Plus, these prongs shouldn't make that much of a price difference.

Like mentioned in part 1, many princess cut diamond engagement rings are set with additional side stones, and the final price of the ring is therefore the total carat weight of all those gems plus the center stone itself. If we do some simple math here and take a look at the difference between a round brilliant and a princess diamond ring with the same set of side stones, we can see that the princess will end up to be more economical because of the better cost/carat rate.

The Choice is Easy Now...

While the brilliant round diamond solitaires may dominant the market (for now), for a ring that offers an equal amount of sparkle but with a striking and contemporary feel, princess cut diamond rings are unbeatable. This is the reason why the princess cut diamond rings triumph over the more time-honored round cut diamond ring in my books. In fact, since they are among the most sought-after in terms of engagement rings, lots of jewelry experts share this same opinion.

Yes, there are a lot of options, but you will not regret going after a princess cut diamond engagement ring when you see the look on her face! Don't wait, go for it!
