Princess Cut Rings
Among the most-loved pieces in our collection is the princess cut engagement ring. Modern and brilliant, its crisp square outline and chevron facets deliver lively sparkle with clean, contemporary lines.
What Makes Princess Engagement Rings So Special?
The princess cut combines a sharp square silhouette with a brilliant-style facet pattern for bright, scintillating light. It suits minimal solitaires and detailed pavé settings alike, offering a fresh alternative to round while staying timeless.
At House of Diamonds, we balance table size, depth, and prong placement so your princess sits comfortably, looks proportionate from every angle, and pairs beautifully with your wedding band.
The Craftsmanship Behind a Princess Solitaire
Corner protection and symmetry are key. We use V-tips or well-shaped double claws on the four corners, align prongs for even geometry, and finish edges for a smooth, low-snag profile. Careful setting height invites light while keeping the ring practical for daily wear.
Explore Our Range
Discover classic princess solitaires, pavé-band styles, cathedral shoulders, halos and hidden halos, plus three-stone designs (princess with trillions, baguettes, or tapered baguettes). Choose natural or lab-grown diamonds and your metal—18K yellow, white, rose gold or platinum.
Why Choose a Princess Diamond?
A princess diamond offers bold geometry with brilliant sparkle. While it can face up a touch smaller than a round of the same carat (due to depth), smart proportions, a slim band, or a halo easily enhance presence—keeping the look refined and modern.

FAQ: Princess Cut Engagement Rings
What is a princess cut?
A square (sometimes very slightly rectangular) diamond with sharp corners and a brilliant-style facet pattern—crisp outline, lively sparkle.
Do princess cuts chip easily?
With proper corner protection (V-tips or shaped claws) they’re secure for daily wear. Regular checks keep prongs in top condition.
Princess vs round—what’s the visual difference?
Princess = modern square geometry with scintillation; Round = classic circular outline with uniform sparkle. Choose the look you love.
Do princess cuts look smaller than rounds at the same carat?
They can face up slightly smaller due to depth. A slim band or halo can enhance presence without changing the clean square outline.
What length-to-width ratio should I choose?
Most prefer near-square ~1.00–1.03. Slightly rectangular (up to ~1.05) can look elegant—try side-by-side to see your preference.
Which settings suit a princess best?
Four V-tips or double claws for corners; cathedral shoulders for lift; halos/hidden halos for added presence; trillions or baguettes for classic three-stone.
Will my wedding band sit flush?
Often yes with a compact basket and thoughtful head height. Some designs suit a gentle contour band—we’ll advise during design.
Can a princess ring be resized?
Usually within 1–2 sizes depending on the band and any pavé. Plain bands are especially resize-friendly.
How do I clean a princess ring?
Soak in warm water with mild dish soap, gently brush around/under the head with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry. Ultrasonic is fine for most diamonds.
