Is color or clarity more important in a princess cut engagement ring?

As long as the stone is eye clean, color is more important in a princess cut diamond. This is because princess cuts are brilliant cut diamonds that hide clarity issues well. So, you can typically choose a lower clarity, such as VS2 or sometimes even SI1, and still have it look flawless to the naked eye. In terms of color, it is best to choose a G color or higher in a princess cut white gold engagement ring. G color offers a great value while remaining “white” to the naked eye, against a white gold setting.

Princess cut diamonds are brilliant cut. This means it has triangular and kite shaped facets. Brilliant facets sparkle more than step cuts like emerald and asscher. It is because of these brilliant facets that you can choose a bit lower color and clarity! The major sparkle helps to hide inclusions and body color. Notably, however, couples should typically stay away from I and J color in a white gold engagement ring. I and J color will appear warm toned against the white metal.
