Its face-up shape is similar to that of an inverted pyramid. The clean lines in a princess cut show the astonishing symmetry, precision, and radiance diamonds always have.

History of the Princess Cut Engagement Ring

The princess cut was inspired by the Barion cut invented by Basil Watermeyer of Johannesburg. The Barion cut results in a square or rectangular diamond. It was believed to have been patented, thus, restricting its availability to be replicated.

The princess cut is a style of cutting slightly similar to Barion cut in terms of shape. It was created by Betzalel Ambar and Israel Itzkowitz in 1980, and was introduced in London by A. Nagy. The princess cut is also known as a more economical version of round cut yet it still enjoys the sparkle of brilliant cut as more rough part of the stone is preserved. The princess cut is also referred to as squarillion, quadrillion, and profile cut.
