What Are Princess Shaped Loose Diamonds?

Each diamond obviously has a name attached to it and usually, you can visualize the diamond by just hearing its name. Actually, the name by which a diamond is known is typically a function of its shape or ‘cut’. In the case of a Princess Shaped diamond, it may just be slightly difficult to visualize but it helps for you to know that this particular diamond cut is typically square-shaped and is alternatively known as Square or Rectangular Modified Brilliant. In other words, the Princess Cut is the square version of the most popular diamond cut, the Round Brilliant and it usually possesses 57 or 76 facets while its ratio ranges between 1.0 to 1.05. Viewed from the side, its shape is somewhat pyramidal with four beveled sides. Due to the shape and bevels, the light dispersion created by the princess shaped diamonds is much more than that created by other diamonds with square shape. It is therefore a favorite choice for solitaire engagement rings as well as earrings.

Loose diamonds are simply diamonds which have not been mounted on any piece of jewelry such as engagement rings, earrings, etc. Princess Shaped Loose Diamonds are usually available for purchase thus offering you the advantage of being able to ascertain its quality. Of course, if you wish to buy a princess Shaped Loose Diamond, it is best to go for one that is certified by any of the leading diamond grading bodies.
