What Is a princess cut?

The princess cut is only around 50 years old. It’s a square or rectangular pyramid with beveled edges and 58 facets. It is considered to be s brilliant as the more traditional round brilliant cut hence the reason why it is also called the square brilliant cut. It is placed flat side out with the point of the pyramid towards the center of the ring. Because the cut is so young, being created in the 1960’s there is no ideal or standard cut grading so it is not a selling point and should not be considered when purchasing one. If a jeweler tries to increase price by saying what they’re selling is valued more by the industry or is graded higher by the industry be wary of them.
