The brilliant square
The princess cut combines a square or near-square outline with brilliant-style faceting, so it sparkles intensely while keeping crisp, geometric edges. It is one of the few fancy shapes that rivals the round for sheer light return, which is why it has stayed a favourite for couples who want a diamond that feels current rather than traditional.
How it looks and wears
On the hand the princess cut reads bold and architectural. Its flat top and four pointed corners create sharp lines that suit clean, minimal settings beautifully. Because much of a princess cut’s weight sits in its depth, it can also offer a satisfying carat presence in a compact, efficient outline that wears comfortably day to day.
It is also a wonderfully versatile shape. The same crisp square reads sleek and contemporary in a plain band, yet turns soft and romantic the moment you frame it with a halo. That range means a princess cut can be dressed up or kept understated, and it tends to look striking on slender and broader fingers alike.
How colour and clarity play with the cut
A princess cut’s brilliant faceting is good at masking small inclusions, so a clean-to-the-eye stone is often achievable without chasing the very top clarity grades. Colour can settle slightly in the corners, which is worth knowing when you weigh up grade against budget. We talk you through these trade-offs honestly so your money goes where it shows.
Protecting the corners
Those four pointed corners are where a princess cut is most vulnerable, since a sharp point can chip if it is left exposed. The right setting solves this entirely. We steer you towards designs that protect the corners, typically four prongs that cup each point or a channel and halo that shields the edges, so the stone keeps its crisp geometry and stays secure for everyday wear.

Common questions about princess cut diamonds
Is a princess cut cheaper than a round diamond?
Usually, yes, per carat. The princess is one of the most economical shapes to cut, since its square outline keeps much more of the rough crystal than a round does. A princess of the same weight and grades therefore tends to cost less. Compare the real prices in the stock grid above, or see every shape side by side on our diamond prices page.
How big is a 1 carat princess cut diamond?
A well-proportioned 1 carat princess measures about 5.5 mm along each side, against about 6.5 mm across for a round, because it carries more of its weight in its depth. Corner to corner, though, it spans about 7.8 mm, so on the finger it can look just as generous. The exact measurements are printed on every report.
What should I check on a princess cut’s report?
GIA gives an overall cut grade only to round brilliants, so a princess report shows polish and symmetry but no cut grade. Look for Excellent or Very Good on both, a girdle that is not extremely thin, and a clarity plot with no feathers near the corners, where they weaken the points. Then watch the 360° video for even brightness from corner to corner.
What is the difference between a princess and a radiant cut?
Both are square or rectangular brilliants, but the radiant has trimmed corners, which give it an eight-sided outline and make it tougher in daily wear. The princess keeps four sharp corners for a crisper, more geometric look and needs V-shaped claws to protect them. If you love square lines without that worry, compare our radiant cut diamonds.
