The history of the all time great Princess Cut Diamond
The origins of the princess cut date back to two separate masterful diamond cutters. The early years of the 1960’s when England’s Arpad Nagy came up with what was known as the “Profile Cut”, which was also referenced at times as the Princess Cut, as well as the Barion Cut Patented by Basil Watermeyer. The modern version of the princess cut diamond progressed over the years due to varied research about what it is exactly that women want to see in a diamond, and is currently missing.
What makes the Princess Cut Diamond stand out
As with most cuts, the intended goal of the manufacturers is to maintain a similar brilliance offered by the classic round cut, in a unique and alluring shape. While at a fast glance down the princess cut may appear simply square, when glancing from its sides it provides a completely unique experience, resembling an upside down pyramid.
Perhaps most remarkable is how efficient the Princess Cut is, allowing up to 80% rough stone usage during the process, which compared to the average diamond cut that can only offer up 40-50% percent, which directly translates as a more affordable option for customers.
Things to consider before Purchasing a Princess Diamond Cut
As with most unique diamond cuts, the Princess Cut, perhaps even more so, requires intelligent planning ahead. Its sharper edges are more prone to chipping, and this is especially a factor when the choice of stone does not match the intended jewelry. As long as you’re aware of this, and are confident with your choice of professional diamond cutters, this should not deter you from getting the regal, stunning look that the Princess Diamond Cut provides.
