Princess

A crisp square with round-brilliant sparkle, usually priced below a round of the same size.

What it is

A square brilliant with sharp corners.

Why people love it

  • Crisp, modern, very sparkly.
  • Usually the least costly brilliant cut per carat.

Trade-offs

  • The sharp corners are the most chip-prone spot on any stone; V-prongs or a bezel protect them.
