The princess cut is one of the most sought-after cuts for gemstones for its timeless look and versatility. It produces a square-cut stone with an inverted pyramid base and pointed corners. Master jewelers professionally hand-cut a princess cut pave engagement ring as a perfect square or with a 1.05 to 1.10:1 length to width ratio to emphasize the gemstone.
Which gemstone is perfect for this cut?
Diamonds are the traditional choice for princess cut rings, but nowadays, you have better options that are more sustainable, ethical, affordable and can rival their beauty and brilliance. One of these is moissanite, a lab-produced gemstone; that is almost as hard as a diamond but with twice the fire and more brilliance.
Even professional jewelers can’t tell the difference between authentic diamonds and moissanite. If you’re choosing moissanite for your princess cut pave engagement ring, make sure it is a D color or colorless grade with all in VVS1 to ensure excellent clarity without visible flaws. The gemstone perfectly symbolizes never-ending love and commitment as it is one of the hardest and most durable materials, ranking 9.50 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness. The ring is ideal for daily use without worries.
Why choose the princess cut for moissanite?
The princess cut pave engagement ring is a classic piece that effectively showcases the geometric proportions of moissanite. The cathedral pave design adds a more timeless look and feel with a touch of elegance to the entire ring.
Reputable manufacturers can customize your ring to accommodate a 1.0 to 2.0 CT center stone with 12 round brilliant cut side stones. Each piece of moissanite is individually hand-cut and polished by master jewelers to ensure optical characteristics, beauty, and radiance of a natural diamond. You can choose the precious metal to go with the ring, such as 18K or 14K yellow gold, rose gold, white gold, or 950 platinum.
