Loose Princess Cut Diamonds

Princess cut diamonds had their heyday back in the early 2000’s, but they are starting to gain popularity again, especially in unique style settings with the diamond rotated so the points face the north, south, east and west directions.

Because Princess cuts are not as popular as some other shapes like ovals, cushions and rounds, you can definitely find a great deal on one.

Princess cut diamonds vary in the number of facets they have from 50-58. It depends on the shape of the rough and the best possible way to cut it, which is determined by the diamond cutter.

The modern princess cut diamond that we have all come to know and love made it’s debut to the world back in the late 1960’s/early 1970’s. As far as diamond shapes are concerned, that’s a very young one indeed.

The princess cut diamond, while a newer shape on the market, evolved from the older French cut, which evolved from the very old (14th century to be exact) table cut. So, while the princess shape that we know and love is still fairly new, its roots extend very far into diamond history.

Princess cut diamonds are cut just like any other diamond shape. It’s a multi-step process that takes many skilled craftsmen and cutters several days to weeks to complete and includes several steps mapping the diamond on a computer and then being shaped, cut and polished to get to the beautiful finished product of which you see listed on our site.

A princess cut diamond is the only shape that is truly square, with 90 angles and sharp, pointed edges. If you are looking for a very geometric shape with a contemporary look, considering the princess cut is a great idea.
