Princess Cut Earrings: Sharp, Modern, Brilliant

If the Round Brilliant is the classic choice, the Princess Cut is the modern challenger. Square, sharp, and incredibly sparkly, it is the second most popular diamond shape for earrings.

Why Choose Princess Cut?

• The Sparkle: It is a "brilliant" cut, meaning it is designed to maximize light return. It sparkles almost as much as a round diamond.
• The Price: Princess cuts are cheaper than round diamonds! They retain more of the rough crystal during cutting, so there is less waste. You can get a larger princess cut for the same price as a smaller round one.
• The Look: The square shape looks geometric and edgy.

Setting Matters

Princess cuts have sharp corners. These corners are the weak point of the diamond and can chip if hit hard.

Recommendation: Choose a 4-prong setting (V-prongs are best) or a Bezel setting that protects the corners.
