The
princess cut engagement ring has long been a favorite among young
ladies and diamond aficionados alike. The “square” look to the princess cut diamond provides
a beautiful way to expose many of the gem’s facets to the light,
allowing for a sparkle that other diamond cuts may lack. Set in white
gold, the diamond really shows its brilliance and it is this that
has made the princess cut engagement ring so popular.
Discount Princess Cut Engagement Rings
Traditionally, princess cut diamond jewelry has been slightly more
expensive than the more common marquis cut stones, but less costly
than the unique Asscher cut diamonds and other extravagancies. With
the advent of internet diamond retailers, it is becoming more affordable
to purchase all sorts of diamonds, and the princess cut ring is no
exception. Engagement rings of all types can be found at a considerable
discount online, and this is a true discount, not the twenty percent
markdown from a seven hundred percent mark-up that you’re likely
to find at your average mall jewelers’ shop.
Discount or no, what determines a diamond’s value is the proverbial “four
C’s” of color, clarity, carat weight, and cut. While
diamonds generally may be more affordable, a larger diamond is still
going to cost more and princess
cut engagement rings generally still
cost more than marquis cut ones. Fans of the style say that the added
beauty and brilliance of the princess cut are worth the additional
money that the design costs.
So Many Styles To Choose from
Like all jewelry, fashion trends dictate the overall look of engagement
rings. In today’s world there are so many styles and designs
to choose from that it is often difficult to decide on what sort
of ring to buy. Princess cut gems are available in Edwardian
styles,
on Celtic rings, tension set rings, and simple plain gold, white
gold, platinum, and the newly popular titanium
rings. For the frugal
there exist moissanite and cubic zirconia princess cuts as well.
With so much availability and affordability, everyone who wants to
can have a princess cut engagement ring.
