Frequently Asked Questions
What makes princess cut lab grown diamonds different from other shapes? +
Princess cut diamonds have a modern square or slightly rectangular shape with sharp corners
and brilliant-style faceting. They offer strong sparkle and a contemporary look, making them
one of the most popular choices after round diamonds.
Do princess cut diamonds sparkle as much as round diamonds? +
Princess cuts are very bright and brilliant, though round diamonds still deliver the highest
overall light return. Princess cuts offer excellent sparkle with a more geometric, edgy shape
that many people love for engagement rings.
Are the corners of princess cut diamonds prone to chipping? +
Yes, the four sharp corners are the most delicate areas. A secure setting with V-prongs or
protective prongs on each corner helps prevent chipping and makes princess cuts suitable
for everyday wear.
Do princess cut diamonds look smaller or larger than round diamonds of the same carat weight? +
Princess cuts often appear slightly smaller face-up than round diamonds of the same carat
weight because more of the weight is in the depth. However, their sharp corners and square
outline give them a bold, defined presence on the finger.
Do princess cut lab grown diamonds hide inclusions well? +
Princess cuts can hide some inclusions, especially near the corners and edges, thanks to
their brilliant faceting. Many buyers choose **VS–SI clarity** for a good balance of value
and eye-clean appearance in lab grown stones.
What color grades are recommended for princess cut diamonds in lab grown options? +
Princess cuts can show a bit more color in the corners than rounds, but they still handle
color well. Many people prefer **D–H color** to maintain a bright, white look, especially
since lab grown diamonds make higher color grades more affordable.
Which settings look best with princess cut lab grown diamonds? +
Princess cuts look beautiful in solitaire, halo, channel-set, 3-stone, and modern geometric
designs. They also pair well with pavé bands and side stones, creating a clean and contemporary style.
Are princess cut lab grown diamonds good for engagement rings and daily wear? +
Yes, as long as they are set with protected corners. With a secure setting, princess cut
diamonds are durable enough for engagement rings worn daily and offer a stylish, modern appearance.
Are princess cut lab grown diamonds certified by IGI or GIA? +
Yes. Princess cut lab grown diamonds can be certified by IGI, GIA, and other leading gemological
laboratories, providing full grading for cut, color, clarity, carat weight, and growth method.
Do princess cut lab grown diamonds come in different sizes and proportions? +
Yes. Princess cuts are available from under 0.50 ct to 10+ ct, with both perfectly square
and slightly rectangular options, making them suitable for a wide range of ring, earring,
