Well, we think the popularity of this diamond shape lies in its history, so before we suggest some amazing engagement ring styles for this shape, let us dive deep into its history real quick!

If you ask us about how long this diamond shape has been around, we would say that this cut has been around since the 1970s, when this cut was introduced by Basil Watermeyer as the Barion cut. Many believe that this cut was introduced as a combination of marquise and emerald cut diamonds. This cut was then proved to be a difficult cut because it required specific symmetrical lines. Now that you have a clear idea about how this specific diamond cut came into being, let us explore different engagement ring styles for princess cut diamond rings.

Although princess cut diamonds are widely popular for other fine jewellery, one piece that truly stands out is princess diamond rings. The pointed edges of this diamond shape make it a perfect choice for a solitaire diamond ring, where your princess cut diamond shines brightly on your fingers. When people are debating buying a ring for themselves or their partners, they should have either round cut diamond or a princess cut diamond. We have a quick and elegant solution to that!
