Princess diamond cut, or also known as a square modified brilliant cut is the cut that has square corners, and looks like a pyramid with 2-4 tiers at the bottom.

The advantages of princess diamond cut:

1. Cost less than round brilliant cut at the same carat weight. This can happen because the cost to cut round brilliant diamond is bigger than the cost to cut princess diamond and also because the part of the rough diamonds that removed when cutting round diamond is bigger than princess diamond. Can you imagine how many carat of diamond that’s not used when all the diamonds in the world is round cut (if only I have some way or some “super super glue” to makes that “waste” into one big diamond, that would be great :-) )

2. The other advantages is if you want to use 3 or more diamond for your ring or for your jewelry and you want to arrange it in a row, princess diamond could be your best choice, because you can arrange it without gaps between the diamonds.

3. Princess diamonds create more sparkles and shine (known as the “fire”) than most of others diamond cut.

4. Princess diamond looks bigger compared to round brilliant cut diamond with the same price

The disadvantage of princess diamond cut

The main disadvantage of princess diamond is the corner of diamond is a vulnerable point. So if you want to buy princess diamond, you should choose the settings that will protect that points.
