FAQ

Generally yes, since the square shape can be cut from rough diamond material with less waste than a round brilliant, making princess cut diamonds typically less expensive per carat for comparable quality.
Yes. A setting that covers or reinforces the four corners helps prevent chipping, since corners are more exposed than a rounded outline.
Princess cut has sharp, pointed corners and a more geometric brilliant-cut pattern; cushion cut rounds off the corners for a softer, more vintage look.

Princess cut diamond earrings feature a square or rectangular outline with pointed corners, combining brilliant-cut facets with a geometric silhouette, making them the most common fancy (non-round) shape chosen for stud earrings.

What Makes Princess-Cut Diamonds Different?

The princess cut uses a brilliant-style facet pattern (typically 76 facets) arranged within a square or rectangular outline rather than a round one, giving it strong sparkle alongside sharp, modern lines. Because square and rectangular rough diamonds can be cut with less waste than round shapes, princess cut diamonds are generally more efficient to produce and often priced lower per carat than round diamonds of equal quality.

Who Should Choose Princess Cut Earrings?

Princess cut earrings suit buyers who want strong sparkle with a modern, geometric look, and who prefer stud styles over drops. The four corners are points of potential weakness, similar to a cushion or emerald cut, so a setting that covers or protects the corners (a four-prong setting with corner coverage) is standard practice.

Princess Cut vs Other Popular Earring Shapes

  • Princess — Brilliant-cut, square; High sparkle; best for Modern geometric studs, better value per carat
  • Round — Brilliant-cut; Maximum sparkle; best for Everyday studs, classic styling
  • Cushion — Modified brilliant, rounded square; High sparkle, softer; best for Vintage square look with softened corners

How to Choose Princess Cut Diamond Earrings

Check the length-to-width ratio: a ratio close to 1.0 gives a true square, while anything above 1.05 starts to look rectangular. Confirm the setting protects all four corners, since a chip at a corner is both more likely and more visible than on a round or oval stone. Princess cut diamonds hide inclusions and slight color tints better than step-cut shapes like emerald, so SI1 clarity and near-colorless grades often look clean to the eye at a lower cost.
