One of the most popular diamond cuts in engagement rings today is the Princess Cut. This type of diamond shape has a rather contemporary appeal. The Princess Cut engagement ring diamond obtains the maximum level of sparkle and brilliance (approaching that of the Round Brilliant Cut) out of a square shape. In line with this more contemporary or modern feel, platinum has become the setting metal of choice with this type of ring.

Many jewelers suggest that the bezel setting type be used with the Princess Cut as it makes the stone look larger. Another factor to consider: As square shapes have the optical effect of shortening, this cut is especially attractive on ladies with longer fingers.

A few tips:
- Make sure the platinum setting of your stone protects the four corners, as these pointed corners are the areas most likely to chip.
- Make sure your stone has a four-pronged setting.
- Try a princess diamond engagement ring on first, to see how you like the look of it with your hand shape and finger length.
