The Princess style is a relatively new shape which was developed in the 1980's. This style was further enhanced when diamond cutters realized that a different square style cut (the Princess) would lose only 20% of a rough diamond during the cutting process. Fancy cuts, such as the Princess cut, allow the cutter to use the best attributes of the rough diamond and eliminate inclusions and blemishes.

What constitutes good princess cuts? There are several different elements which have a large impact on a diamond's brilliance. These include the width and depth of the stone, the symmetry and the alignment of a diamond's facets and the polish. Diamond clarity is a measure of a diamond's blemishes and inclusions which also effect the brilliance of diamonds and their sparkle because they interfere with the passage of light travelling through the precious stone.
