Part of speech: noun
Definition: The princess cut is a diamond cutting style known for its square or rectangular shape and a high degree of brilliance. Characterized by sharp, uncut corners and a series of unique, complex facets, this cut is designed to maximize light reflection and refraction, resulting in exceptional sparkle. The princess cut has become one of the most popular choices for engagement rings and other fine jewelry, thanks to its modern appearance and efficiency in preserving more of the rough diamond during the cutting process. Compared to round cuts, the princess cut often appears larger due to its four-sided pyramid shape, offering a sophisticated and contemporary alternative to traditional diamond shapes.
