Beautiful jewellery and extremely helpful advice from start to finish. So happy to know my jewellery is stunning, original and ethically sourced. Can not recommend Ingle & Rhode more highly.

Jessica

Trust Pilot

Excellent service from the initial phone call, through to the collection of the ring which I'm pleased to say my fiancée loves! I'd highly recommend David and his highly skilled team and will be back here very soon to arrange the wedding bands.

Andrew

Trust Pilot

We needed a pair of wedding rings and were attracted to Ingle & Rhode by the fact that they used ethical metals. We were very pleased to find a team of thoroughly lovely people who provided excellent jewellery and wonderful, friendly service. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them wholeheartedly.

Giancarlo

Trust Pilot

Excellent ethical jeweller. Purchased an engagement ring from Ingle & Rhode. Very impressive range, superb customer service and the best ethical guarantees (e.g. all Canadian diamonds) I came across. Girlfriend loved the ring.

Alex

Trust Pilot

I had my engagement ring made by Ingle & Rhode. I was very happy with it and the whole process was very painless. When I got the ring, it was exactly what we had discussed. When I told my (now) wife, that her ring was ethically sourced and produced it made her very happy. I highly recommend them.

Sam

Trust Pilot

Wonderful product, very helpful people. And love the ethical angle.

Mark Dalton

Stellar service! They were fantastic in talking me through the process, accommodating my many changes to the bespoke design I had in mind for my fiancée's ring, sourcing a beautiful and ethically sourced ring. I highly recommend this company to anyone setting out in this fun but tricky journey of finding the right ring!

Why is ethical sourcing
so important?

Without proper ethical sourcing, you may unwittingly buy a blood diamond, helping finance criminal armies in war-torn areas. The only way to guarantee a diamond is ethical is to go beyond the flawed Kimberley Process and trace it to its source, which we do for all of our diamonds.

Ethical sourcing also means protecting the environment and human rights, which is why we use recycled or Fairtrade gold, as well as fairmined silver and recycled platinum.

How to choose a princess cut diamond

The princess cut diamond is the second most popular shape of diamond for engagement rings after the round brilliant cut. We've provided some guidance below to help you decide whether a princess cut diamond is the right option for you, and you may also wish to read our general guidance on diamond grading.

Princess cut diamond plot

The square modified brilliant cut

In terms of the major diamond shapes, the princess cut is a relatively new innovation, with several variations developed by different cutters since the 1960s. 

The technical name for a princess cut is 'square modified brilliant'. It combines the stepped faceting seen in emerald cuts and Asscher cuts with the triangular facets of a brilliant cut. Unlike the emerald cut and Asscher cut though, it has right angled corners, and as a brilliant cut it offers more sparkle than either of these.

More diamond for your money

Most rough diamonds are broadly octahedral in shape, which makes cutting a square shaped diamond like a princess cut less wasteful than other shapes. A cutter would be doing well if he retains 50% of the rough weight in a round brilliant cut, while 80% would not be unusual for a princess cut. This lower wastage means that you get a larger polished diamond for your money.

Look out for colour in the corners

Princess cuts tend to show colour quite strongly in their corners, putting more of a premium on the higher colour grades. H colour is a reasonable lower cut off if you want a white diamond, though ideally you would focus on diamonds graded G or better if your budget will allow it.

Eye-clean down to VS2

If a princess cut diamond has been graded by one of the more reputable gemological laboratories, such as The Gemological Institute of America (GIA), you can afford to be relatively lenient with the clarity grades that you will consider. The sparkle from the brilliant faceting helps to obscure small inclusions, so that anything down to VS2 should be flawless to the naked eye. 

No consensus on the ideal proportions

Not all princess cut diamonds are perfectly square, so it is worth checking to see how close the length and width of the diamond are. 

There is no consensus within the industry as to the ideal proportions for a princess cut, so a GIA-certified princess will not have a 'cut' grade listed on its certificate. The certificate will list a grade for polish and a grade for symmetry, but by themselves these are not enough to tell you how well the diamond will sparkle.

However, there are a couple of other clues on the certificate. Firstly, you should check that the total depth is between 68% and 75%, as stones that are exceptionally deep or shallow are likely to ‘leak’ light out of the pavilion, and won’t return light as well as they should. The other factor you can check is the Table Width, which should be between 70% and 75%. A diamond with a really wide or really narrow table is unlikely to perform well.

These two checks are indicators only, that will help you weed out obviously unsuitable stones. In the end, though, you will need to view the stone or get someone you trust to assess it for you.

 

In the gallery below, you can view a selection of some of the bespoke princess cut rings that we've made to order for previous clients. Alternatively, you may wish to browse our Engagement Ring Collection for the princess cut rings that we have in stock.
