The Princess Cut Diamond was developed by Basil Watermeyer from Johannesburg in 1963. A similiar predecessor to the princess cut diamond was The Barion Cut Diamond.
Today The Princess Cut Diamond is quickly increasing in popularity for engagement rings. One reason is because the Princess Cut Diamond can offer almost as much brilliance and fire as a nicely cut round shaped diamond. It was designed for it. The Princess Cut Diamond is also very good at hiding imperfections because of the way it is cut. You could consider it the best of both worlds.
The Princess Cut is very popular for just about any type of one carat diamond ring including one carat solitaire diamond rings. The Princess Cut Diamond also works very well as accents. A very popular one carat diamond engagement ring in jewelry stores today consists of a one carat princess cut diamond with baguettes. It tends to be more visually appealing than a round cut diamond with baguettes. It can also be a good choice if you would like a more unique engagement ring than your more common tiffany style, round engagement ring.
Princess Cut Diamonds are typically square in shape, but can be rectangular too. Deep stones generally work better with the princess cut diamond.
Due to the fact that one carat Princess cut diamonds are very firey and brilliant, as well as hiding inclusions very well, lower color and clarity grades will look better than most other one carat diamond ring shapes.
