What is a Princess Shape Diamond?
A Princess shape diamond is a sharp square gemstone with straight corners and numerous facets that reflect brilliance. This diamond is not only a piece of jewelry but also a result of exceptional craftsmanship, making it highly popular for its modern and elegant look, suitable for both classic and contemporary jewelry. Diamonds of this cut reflect light perfectly and create an exceptional sparkle, making them ideal for jewelry.
Princess Diamond Shape and the Advantages of the Princess Cut
This shape has 57–76 facets that maximize light dispersion. As a result, the stone looks very bright and deep, and even smaller carat stones appear impressive.
Diamond Clarity
For Princess diamonds, clarity is very important because the corners can highlight inclusions. You can choose the SI1 clarity grade, which ensures a good price-to-quality ratio. However, we recommend VS1 or better options to achieve a perfect visual effect.
Diamond Colors
Princess diamonds are usually evaluated on a color scale from D (colorless) to Z (yellowish). The closer the color is to D, the higher the diamond’s price. Colored diamonds – Princess shapes can also be fancy colored diamonds – yellow, pink, or blue, where the price depends on the intensity of the color.
GIA Certificate – Quality Guarantee
GIA certified diamonds are accurately graded according to international standards. This guarantees that the diamond is exactly as described in the documents.
The Lithuanian Assay Office evaluates diamonds and provides certificates for jewelry.
Diamond Price: Key Factors
The price of a diamond depends on its carat weight, color, clarity, and cut quality. Each diamond characteristic – weight, color, clarity, and cut quality – directly influences its price. Princess cut stones often cost less than round ones but appear the same size or even larger. Diamond carat weight – carats determine not only the size of the stone but also the price. The price of a 1-carat diamond can vary several times depending on other quality parameters.

A Diamond is More Than a Mineral, It’s an Emotion

What is the Difference Between a Diamond and a Brilliant?
People often ask – what is the difference between a diamond and a brilliant? The answer is simple: a diamond is the natural gemstone, while “brilliants” are diamonds that have a round, perfectly cut shape (Round Brilliant Cut). The difference lies specifically in the cut – not every diamond is a brilliant, but every brilliant is a diamond. The shape of a brilliant differs from a Princess or other cuts because the brilliant cut has 57 or 58 facets, which ensure maximum brilliance and light effect. Brilliants are usually chosen by those looking for a perfectly round shape and the greatest light effect. The difference between brilliants and other diamond shapes determines their value and visual effect.
Every Diamond is Unique
Even diamonds of the same shape can differ in color, clarity, and proportions. Therefore, every diamond is the only one of its kind in the world.
Brilliant or Princess Diamond – Which to Choose?
A brilliant is one of the diamond cut shapes. For example, if you want maximum light dispersion, choose a brilliant (Round Brilliant); if you are looking for modernity, choose the Princess shape. If you want more light effects and a round shape – choose a brilliant. If you want modernity and straight lines – choose Princess.
Diamond Care
To keep a diamond sparkling, it needs to be cleaned regularly and protected from impacts, especially on the corners.
By setting the diamond in specially designed prongs, damage can be avoided and additional protection provided while wearing or storing the jewelry.
Diamond Buying Tips
Choose based on your budget, needs, and the purpose of the jewelry. Always ask for a certificate. It is also important to note that for natural diamonds, their origin and formation conditions are extremely significant.
Diamond Processing and Sustainability
Once a diamond is mined, another important stage begins – processing. A diamond is processed to give it the desired shape and cut that will reveal its natural beauty and brilliance. Diamonds are processed using modern technologies that allow for the precise formation of facets and the achievement of maximum light dispersion. Each diamond is evaluated by shape, weight, color, and clarity – these criteria determine the final value of the diamond.
Sustainability in the diamond world is becoming increasingly important. Diamond sustainability means not only its longevity but also responsible resource use and environmental protection. Diamonds are valued based on how well they maintain their beauty and quality over the years. A properly processed diamond is not only an exceptional piece of jewelry but also a long-term value that can be passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, FashionGold.lt works with certified diamonds, offering both natural and lab-grown options, ensuring high quality.
The Princess shape diamond is a modern, sparkling, and versatile choice, suitable for both jewelry and investment.
