Unique Princess Cut Engagement Rings
A Princess Cut is one of the newest ways to cut a diamond, in fact it has only been around since the 1960’s. Despite this however it has gained a good following and is now the second most popular cut behind a cut called ‘the brilliant cut’.
This type of cut was invented to fulfil the need to achieve a great sparkle without the need to have an oval cut diamond, other square cuts had come close such as the cushion cut, however ultimately they all failed to live up to giving the correct sparkle expected of a diamond. The face is cut square and the diamond is formed into the shape of an inverted pyramid before being set into the ring.
A princess cut is one of the cheap engagement rings on the market which actually contains real diamonds. This is due to a number of different reasons. The first is that this type of cut allows imperfect diamonds to be used in their creation; in fact most imperfections will be covered up by this type of cut. The second is that there is a lot less wasted diamond compared to other types of cut, particularly ‘the brilliant cut’ where the edges have to be cut off in order to be set perfectly into the ring.
If you do opt to purchase a princess cut you should make sure that the corners are firmly held in tight by the setting. This will not only prevent loss of the diamond but to ensure that the corners, a weak point of the diamond do not become chipped and therefore destroy the aesthetics of the entire ring.
There is not an industry standard for princess cut diamonds, so it is worth inspecting the diamond before purchase if possible, although of course this isn’t always possible. Therefore look out for diamonds that have been accredited by either of these groups:
– Accredited Gem Appraisers (AGA)
– American Gem Society Laboratory (AGSA)
– European Gem Laboratories-USA (EGL-USA)
Only if you deal with gems that have been inspected cut for cut by one of these organisations can you be 100% sure that you will be receiving a genuine princess cut diamond. However if the diamond is verified by one of these organisations then as I mentioned before you should always try to inspect the diamond to ensure that it has been cut to a high standard, if it has then you may even get these cheaper than accredited cuts.
Princess Cut Engagement Rings are some of the best rings that can be purchased for your lover, if purchased correctly it will be one of the cheap engagement rings you purchase that actually has a real diamond in it for reasons mentioned before. This is why many people that are looking to propose opt for this type of cut when they are on a limited budget. Any woman will be impressed that you have purchased them diamonds so you really do not need to spend a lot to get a beautiful smile on their face and getting them to say ‘yes’ to your question.
