She Really Wants a Princess Cut Engagement Ring


Walking into an up market jeweler is rather daunting to say the least for men; as they initially melt at the adoring smile as she nods at the sparkling cluster of diamonds sitting rather precociously on delicate finger! He will gasp as he sees the exorbitant price tag that is attached to it! Luckily there are so many varieties of engagement rings from which to select and plenty of stunning ones that won't necessarily break the bank either! How about considering a princess cut solitaire engagement ring in a stylish but simple setting or that exquisite antique princess cut heirloom ring that belonged to your grandmother that she showed you last year?

Princess cut engagement rings differ from the more time-honored round cut diamond ring which is why women generally adore them for this important piece of jewelry. The cut is square rather than round. The princess cut was introduced in 1980 and is now one of the most popular diamond cuts on the market.

These rings are popular for a couple of good reasons including its brilliance compared to other cuts; and the fact that this cut is the most cost-effective way to cut a diamond. The princess cut results in far less wastage during the cutting process which also means retaining most of its original weight.

This style of cut is also cheaper because the shape and style means that any imperfections in the diamond can be cut away. Less time is needed to cut and polish which translates into not spending as much money on craftsmanship. What's the bottom line? The result is a less expensive stunningly gorgeous ring! A princess cut diamond ring typifies the best jewelry value on a per-carat basis. That's great news!

Why Do Princess Cut Engagement Rings Look So Fantastic?

These stunning rings combine the classic step cut and the brilliant cut resulting in more facets to the ring, which in turn raise the diamond's sparkle and fire. Another bonus is that these rings often have prongs that protect the edges of the diamond. The stone is either aligned parallel to the ring or in an angle presenting a "diamond" shaped diamond.

This cut is also popular with the diamond set directly in a channel setting. An exquisite engagement ring is the dazzling large princess diamond in the center with smaller princess diamonds on either side in a multiple stone setting.

Your bride to be will certainly feel like royalty everyday with an elegant princess cut engagement ring sitting on her finger.

Top Tips on Buying the Perfect Engagement Ring

What should you know before buying a gorgeous engagement ring for the woman you plan to marry? And for those women planning to show their beaus exactly what type of ring you'd like to wear; keep reading as these tips will assist you in letting him know your wishes. Remember ladies, he will want to surprise you with a ring that fits perfectly and looks fabulous.

Tips To Steer You In The Right Direction

Take note of what type of jewelry your betrothed wears everyday and obviously likes best. She may have a preference for a specific metal or gem as well as overall size and styles. Make certain that you know her size. Choosing the right engagement ring can be rather daunting if you are not properly prepared as there are so many styles, settings, stones and of course prices vary from several hundred dollars to exquisite pieces that will truly set you back more than a small fortune. Because an engagement ring is an emotional purchase, for the female anyway; it's a good idea to thoroughly know what you are looking at and how the price is worked out.

Rings Basically Have Four Distinct Parts
1 - The setting holds the center stone or a collection of stones. A strong precious metal means that the stones should remain intact for the lifetime of the ring.

2 - The stone or stones are the expensive part of the ring depending upon what you choose. Shall it be diamonds, rubies or emeralds? This will often account for 90% of the overall costing and the stones should be certified.

3 - Ring band is the section of an engagement that has contact with the finger skin and therefore is the part that takes all of the wear and tear.

4 - The stamp shouldn't be overlooked as this signifies the type and purity of the metal of the engagement ring you buy.

Do shop around before buying the engagement ring because most jewelry shops carry similar designs and the pricing variations are quite incredible. Take your time and never feel pressured to buy if you are not sure. Finally, if choosing a diamond engagement ring as a token of your devotion; there are four Cs to remember. They are color, clarity, cut and of course the infamous carat!
