An engagement is a very special time for most people, and giving the perfect Engagement Ring can really make the occasion extra special. There are many ring types to select from, but for those that want to give something that is extra special Princess Cut Engagement Ring could prove the ideal choice.
Princess Cut Engagement Rings are the most popular in sales because they accentuate a diamonds fire rather than its luster. The top of the diamond is cut in a square shape and the overall shape is similar to a pyramid.
Every diamond regardless of its shape gets it brilliancy and scintillation by cutting and polishing the diamond facets to allow the maximum amount of light that enters through its top to be reflected and dispersed back through its top. A correctly cut, "well made", stone allows light to enter the stone and bounce back out of the top almost like a mirror. As you can see if the angles are correct the light that enters is dispersed properly back through the diamond's top facets.
When a stone is cut too shallow or too deep the light that enters through the top is allowed to escape through the diamond's bottom and does not allow the maximum beauty of the diamond to be realized. If a diamond is cut to wide the light tries to exit the bottom. If the diamond is cut to thin the light exits out of the sides.
The clarity of a diamond is influenced by the amount and location of flaws in the diamond when viewed under 10 power (10x) magnification. Most diamonds contain very tiny blemishes known as "inclusions." An inclusion can interfere with the light passing through the diamond. The fewer the inclusions, the more beautiful the diamond will be. Similar to scratches on the face of your watch
A Princess Cut Diamond Engagement Ring is just one of many different cuts that have been developed in order to best utilize a diamond gemstone's superlative material properties. A diamond cut constitutes a more or less symmetrical arrangement of facets which together modify the shape and appearance of a diamond crystal. Diamond cutters must consider several factors, such as the shape and size of the crystal, when choosing a cut.
The princess cut is sometimes referred to as a "square modified brilliant," as it combines the brilliance of a round cut with an overall square or rectangular appearance. A princess cut engagement ring does sacrifice some brilliance in order to have its unique square shape.
