Choosing a loose diamond may seem a daunting process, but understanding the four different cuts in which diamonds are available may help narrow down the dazzling array. Diamonds are available as round brilliants, emerald cut, asscher cut or the newest square princess cut. The precision cut princess produces a dazzling sparkle within the very centre of the diamond, delivering breathtaking flashes of fire and brilliance which are unsurpassed. Round brilliants are the most popular cut for diamonds and the ultimate round brilliant is a Hearts and Arrows diamond. In similar style to the round brilliant, the stunning Perfect Princess Cut® solitaire creates a flashing diamond with the same high degree of brilliance. The loose princess cut solitaire stones have a square-shaped or rectangular crown. Precision cut princess diamonds are popular as the centrepiece for platinum princess cut engagement rings. The classic traditional rectangular diamond cut is produced by the emerald cut. This step-cut is perfect for larger stones and has a flat rectangular surface with beveled corners. Finally, the Asscher cut displays and enhances the beauty of a larger square diamond at its very best. Platinum princess cut engagement rings are one of the most beautiful ways to declare a lifetime’s commitment to each other. The square princess cut diamond, particularly the Perfect Princess Cut®, gives greater sparkle and brilliance than any other cut, and the larger crown angle makes the diamond even easier to set, making it the perfect choice for that once-in-a-lifetime ring.
