Perfect Settings for a Princess Cut Ring
The first version of the stone shape used in a princess cut ring was created in London in the mid 1900s by Aprad Nagy. The stone was square in shape, an unusual option at the time, but also very flat. Sometimes referred to as the profile cut, it eventually evolved into the taller square stone that we know today. This change is credited to Basil Watermeyer from Johannesburg who originally named his variation the barion cut. The princess cut ring, as we know it today, has long been the second most popular stone shape, second only to the round brilliant cut.
If you are on the market for the perfect princess cut ring, one of the first things you should do is examine the best setting options for a princess cut ring. While the shape itself is extremely versatile, and often the only shape recommended for certain ring styles, there are particular settings for princess cut rings that suit the stone the best.
Eternity rings are the one ring style that most jewellers will tell you only achieves its optimal beauty when set with princess cut stones. Since the stones are designed to lay flush against one another in the eternity ring, using a princess cut ring to achieve the ideal eternity ring seamlessness is typically your best choice. Similar to eternity rings, princess cut rings also work very well with three stone ring designs.
If you are looking for a solitaire ring design or just a simpler style of ring, the princess cut ring has several options to offer, mainly due to the variations in the setting type.
The one setting style that tends to only work with a princess cut ring is the invisible setting. This uses setting mounts underneath the stones to hold them in place, creating a seemingly floating effect with the stones. The princess cut ring utilizing this type of setting offers the most stunning effect from this modern and innovative setting style.
Another modern setting that suits princess cut rings perfectly is the tension setting. This uses the pressure between the ends of a split band to hold the stone in place. A princess cut ring is ideal for this style as well, offering multiple flat surfaces for the band to exert pressure on.
Channel settings are well suited to princess cut rings as well. Instead of setting the stone onto a surface above the ring band, the stones are instead mounted into a channel or groove that has been cut into the band itself. The channel of the princess cut ring overlaps the stones just enough to hold them in place, but not enough to distract from the true beauty of the princess cut ring itself.
A princess cut ring is also highly compatible with a traditional prong setting. The four corners of the stone in the princess cut ring are ideal spots to anchor the four prongs, holding the stone firmly in place. The prong setting is also a luxurious way to display the true beauty of a princess cut ring.
