The diamond cut should reflect the maximum amount of light to the viewer's eye. For example, if a diamond is cut too shallow, light will be lost out of the pavilion (bottom) and the diamond will lose brilliance. If the diamond is cut too deep, the light will escape through the sides and the diamond will appear dark.
Since Princess cut diamonds are designed to maximize brilliance, you need to be sure that you are familiar with the qualities of a good cut. A Princess diamond makes a beautiful engagement ring as a solitaire or set with other stones. |
