Princess Cut Diamonds

A natural princess cut diamond is a square-shaped stone with pointed corners and brilliant-style faceting, formed deep within the earth over billions of years under extreme heat and pressure. It features 57 to 76 chevron-shaped facets that deliver strong brilliance and fire. The princess cut is the second most popular diamond shape, prized for its modern geometric silhouette and excellent light performance.

Yes, princess cut diamonds are typically eye-clean at VS2 and often at SI1 clarity. Their brilliant-cut facet pattern breaks up light in a way that makes small inclusions very difficult to see without magnification. This allows you to select a VS2 or SI1 princess cut that looks flawless to the naked eye while saving compared to higher clarity grades.

Natural princess cut diamonds can appear up to 15% larger than round diamonds of the same carat weight. Their larger table surface area and diagonal corner-to-corner measurement create the impression of a bigger stone. If maximizing visible size is a priority, a princess cut offers more face-up coverage per carat than a round brilliant.

The princess cut's pointed corners need secure prong work, and Do Amore's free lifetime stone tightening helps protect the setting for decades. Do Amore's natural diamond selection is ethically sourced from Canada, recycled origins, or blockchain-verified conflict-free supply chains.
