Princess Lab Created Diamond

The Princess Cut Diamond continues to be one of the most purchased shape of Diamonds behind the Round and the Oval.

Most jewelry experts agree – the princess cut diamond found its roots back in the early 1960’s. A cutter in England named Arpad Nagy created the “profile” cut in 1961. This cut was commonly referred to as the princess cut at the time, and the name became the standard years later.

One of the remarkable characteristics for the princess cut (other than its sparkle and fire) is the amount of rough stone that it utilizes. A typical princess cut diamond uses up to 80% of the rough stone, which helps keep the cut priced lower than other lower percentage cuts. In general, a princess cut diamond will cost less than a comparable round brilliant.

Most would probably describe the princess cut as a square diamond. However, the shape of the cut is actually closer to an inverted pyramid. The cut utilizes 58 facets, which gives the princess diamond a good deal of shine.

A princess cut diamond won’t have quite the fire and brilliance as a similar round brilliant stone, but it still has plenty! If you are considering an alternative to the round brilliant that has the same type of quality look, the princess cut stone would be a great decision.

This cut works well in both solitaire or multi-stone engagement rings, stud earrings, tennis bracelets, necklaces, and more.

While it isn’t the most expensive of the shapes (the Round Brilliant holds that title) it is still quite an investment, so buyers are now turning to the Princess Lab Created Diamond as an alternative. We are seeing a huge rise in Diamond alternatives as buyers face the uncertainty of the past six months of 2020 and look ahead to what the economic impacts may be in the future. We have also seen the Diamond alternative trend take a great leap forward as buyers consider saving money now to be a better position ten to twenty years down the track.

When looking at an Engagement Ring or even multi stone Jewellery the Lab options with their more economically and socially conscious origins are looking great to buyers who consider these to be just as important as the price if not more. As an added bonus the Lab Created options can save sometimes up to 60% off the price of the naturally mined variety.
