Benefits of a Princess Cut Ring
It is very apparent to any jewellery lover that the beauty of a princess cut ring is truly undeniable. Its simple shape carries with it such a grace and elegance that make it perfect for any occasion and in any setting. What many people may not realize, however, is just how many benefits a princess cut ring actually offers.
One of the most important aspects of a princess cut ring is the amount of the rough diamond the jeweller is able to keep after the stone has been cut. Other cuts, such as round stones or asscher cuts, can waste as much as fifty percent of the rough diamond before the ideals faceting is achieved. A princess cut ring, on the other hand, typically only takes roughly twenty percent of the rough diamond being cut away until its ideal facets are achieved. This decreased waste of the rough stone is relevant for several reasons.
A jeweller can take two rough diamonds of approximately the same size and cut one for a princess cut ring and the other for a round cut ring. If the rough diamond is ten carats, the approximate size of the finished round stone would be around five carats. The stone for the princess cut ring, on the other hand, could be up to eight carats in size. This allows for much larger stones to be cut using the princess cut, making high carat princess cut rings more affordable than their round counterparts. The amount of time and energy it takes for the jeweller to cut a stone for a princess cut ring is also significantly lower than cutting a round stone, further decreasing the cost per carat with regards to post mining labour.
Another benefit of a princess cut ring is its timelessness. While many styles of rings go in and out of fashion over the years, the princess cut ring has remained steady as the second most popular choice for diamond rings. This trend is very apparent when looking at the examples of vintage rings that were once at the top of the fashion trends back in the day. The princess cut ring was typically the most common design found back then. Fast forward to today and the princess cut ring is still holding its own with regards to market share.
The shape of a princess cut ring itself can speak to so many personality types as well, increasing its widespread appeal. Breaking away from the more common rounded stone designs, a princess cut ring is ideal for the woman who wants to keep the traditions behind the diamond ring itself, without necessarily having to conform to the stone design. The princess cut ring can also have a very modern edge to it, with its perfect corners creating a new level of symmetry in the ring, giving it a more forward thinking design. The vintage appeal of a princess cut ring, however, is still very strong. Set the stone in an antique and ornate setting in a scrolled band and you have the very image of the beauty and appeal that true antique pieces are so loved for.
