This has become particularly popular over the last few years – developed in 1970, the Princess is now second only to the round in popularity. The stone is in a square shape, with the same triangular facets sported by Tolkowsky’s brilliant round cut. This gives a classic shape and beautiful sparkle. This is the perfect choice for a combination between a square or rectangular outline with the brilliance of a round cut. Although a square outline is largely preferred, some stones are cut in a slightly more rectangular shape. The princess cut works excellently as a solitaire, but is also particularly attractive paired with side stones such as trillions or smaller princess-cut diamonds.
