Diamonds cut for Rings
Diamonds cut for rings, especially the Princess cuts are extremely popular and adorned by almost all women. There are numerous reasons for this, one being the simplistic beauty offered. The Princess cuts are still new when compared to for instance, the Asscher cuts which date as far back in their cutting origin as 1902. It is only for the past forty years or so that the Princess cuts are used. The originator of the Princess cuts can be traced back to the Belgian cutter Weistrich. The cut is almost universal today.
Princess cuts are a variation of the round brilliant cut. Since less stone is lost in the cutting process, the diamonds cut for rings into this shape are less expensive and can thus be afforded by more people. Another reason for their popularity is the fact that some of the flaws in the stone can be hidden ensuring that a stone that would otherwise have been of less value now gets value added to it.
Finally the princess type stone can be set with smaller ones. One of the more common settings for engagement rings is where the princess-cut stone forms the centre of the setting with two small banquette stones on the sides to compliment it. The most secure form of setting is to have the diamonds cut for rings in the Princess shape set with prongs at the four corners of the stone to prevent chipping.
