Diamond Shape
When selecting a certified diamond, shape is one of the most important factors to consider. The contours and outlines of a loose diamond have a significant impact on its appearance. At Brilliance, we offer the ten most popular shapes in our certified diamond search. Round diamonds have long been the most popular, although many modern consumers prefer alternative shapes, including emerald, princess, radiant, and asscher, among others. Each diamond shape has its own unique traits, aesthetic properties, and markings of quality.
Princess Cut Diamonds
A square stone with 90-degree corners, the princess cut diamond originated in the United States in 1980. This shape is one of the most efficiently produced types of diamonds, with nearly 60% of the original rough preserved during the cutting process. The most desirable princess cut diamonds are perfectly square in shape, with the more rectangular variations decreasing in value.
One of the advantageous traits of a princess cut diamond is that any existing inclusions are less visible due to the unique cutting and polishing technique that is used. Models of versatility, princess cut loose diamonds are equally at home in traditional and contemporary engagement rings.
To achieve optimal symmetry and light performance in a diamond, the stone must be cut to specific depth and table percentages. The depth percentage of a diamond measures the ratio of the stone’s depth to the diamond’s total diameter. The table percentage is the ratio of the width of the diamond’s top facet in relation to the width of the entire stone. For princess cut diamonds, the depth and table ranges below will yield different qualities of cut.
- Depth Percentage
- Ideal: 75% - 66%
- Excellent: 76.5% - 64%
- Very Good: 78% - 62%
- Good: 84% - 56%
- Table Percentage
- Ideal: 75% - 66%
- Excellent: 77% - 64%
- Very Good: 79% - 62%
- Good: 82% - 55%
Every diamond shape has a length-to-width ratio, which determines how a certified diamond will appear when viewed from above. When selecting a square shaped princess, look for a length-to-width ratio between 1 and 1.05. For those who prefer a rectangular shaped princess, choose a length-to-width ratio of 1.1 or greater.
