These fancy shaped diamonds can add a lovely, unique look to your engagement ring. But how do you choose between these two shapes? In this post, we\u2019ll talk about the definition of princess cut and cushion cut diamonds, their style differences, and their price differences to help you decide. Read on to learn how to choose a princess cut or cushion cut engagement ring!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Princess Cut vs. Cushion Cut: Definitions<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, let\u2019s talk about the definitions of these two shapes so you understand their anatomy and what makes their cuts different.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Princess Cut Diamond Definition<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Princess cut diamonds are a modern diamond cut, having been invented in the 1960s. This shape looks like a square when viewed from above. From the side, it looks like an inverted pyramid. The princess cut diamond features a modified version of the round diamond\u2019s brilliant cut and is sometimes also called a \u201csquare modified brilliant\u201d diamond.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Princess cut diamonds have many angular features, due to their exterior shape and their faceting pattern, which is composed of triangular and kite-shaped facets. Typically, a princess cut diamond has around 58 facets. Though, they can have as few as 50 facets and as many as 144 facets.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Cushion Cut Diamond Definition<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cushion cut diamonds get their name from how they look when viewed from above. The table of a cushion cut diamond is shaped like a square with softly rounded corners, like a pillow or a cushion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cushion cut diamonds are actually an evolution of a much older diamond cut, the old mine cut. Cushion cut diamonds have the same shape as an old mine cut diamond, but are outfitted with a modern brilliant cut to enhance their sparkle. Because cushion cut diamonds evolved from this older shape, they\u2019re often considered a vintage shape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though cushion cut diamond diamonds feature a brilliant cut, they reflect light a bit differently than many other brilliant shapes. Due to their faceting pattern, cushion cut diamonds have a bit less brilliance than some other brilliant diamond shapes. However, they also tend to have more fire, which is the term for the rainbow colored light emitted from a diamond.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Princess Cut vs. Cushion Cut: Style and Ring Inspiration<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Princess cut diamonds and cushion cut diamonds are similar in shape, yet quite different in style. The princess cut diamond has a very modern, sleek look. The sharp, geometric shape of a princess cut diamond gives it a refined, contemporary style. On the contrast, cushion cut diamonds have a much softer look, due to their rounded edges. Cushion cut diamonds are highly romantic and are often loved by those who adore all things vintage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s take a look at some princess cut and cushion cut engagement rings so you can see their style differences in action.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Classic Ribbon Halo Engagement Ring<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-3694\" src=\"https:\/\/www.diamondwish.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Classic-Ribbon-Halo-Engagement-Ring.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.diamondwish.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Classic-Ribbon-Halo-Engagement-Ring.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.diamondwish.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Classic-Ribbon-Halo-Engagement-Ring-600x600.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.diamondwish.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Classic-Ribbon-Halo-Engagement-Ring-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.diamondwish.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Classic-Ribbon-Halo-Engagement-Ring-768x768.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.diamondwish.com\/product\/classic-ribbon-halo-engagement-ring\/RNG10118-14KW\/?shape=Princess&amp;category=design-your-own-engagement-ring&amp;display-category=princess-cut-engagement-rings\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Classic Ribbon Halo Engagement Ring<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> showcases the beauty of a classic princess cut diamond setting.

The incorporation of a diamond halo around the center stone is a classic and popular design element that adds both brilliance and emphasis to the focal point. The use of round cut diamond accents to embrace the center stone in the shimmering halo, as well as line the profile of the crown, creates a cohesive and elegant look. The cascading diamonds on 3\/4 of the delicate, dainty band not only enhances the overall sparkle but also contribute to a sense of continuity and fluidity in the design.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.diamondwish.com\/princess-cut-engagement-rings\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to view more princess cut diamond engagement rings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Classic Cushion Halo Engagement Ring<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-3692\" src=\"https:\/\/www.diamondwish.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Classic-Halo-Engagement-Ring-Cushion.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"399\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.diamondwish.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Classic-Halo-Engagement-Ring-Cushion.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.diamondwish.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Classic-Halo-Engagement-Ring-Cushion-600x600.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.diamondwish.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Classic-Halo-Engagement-Ring-Cushion-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.diamondwish.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Classic-Halo-Engagement-Ring-Cushion-768x768.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here,The Classic Halo Engagement Ring setting is used with a cushion cut diamond.

The criss-cross, vine-like pattern gives it a unique and artistic touch, suggesting a connection to the natural world. The slender curves of the diamond lined precious metal band twisted together creates a delicate and sparkling effect, contributing to the overall dainty and beautiful appearance of the ring. The hidden features of this ring are the beautifully diamond lined hidden halo and diamond lined bridge. The thicker claw style prongs holding the center stone showcases bold craftsmanship, making the ring stand out with a sense of grandeur. The nature-inspired theme adds a touch of romance and symbolism, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate jewelry with meaning.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Princess Cut vs. Cushion Cut: Price<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both princess cut and cushion cut diamonds are fancy shaped diamonds, which is a category that encompasses every diamond that is not a round brilliant diamond. Round brilliant diamonds are easily the most expensive diamond shape. This is partially because there is more raw diamond waste when a round diamond is cut. Then, partially because round diamonds are in very high demand, which means retailers tend to mark up their price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you compare the prices of round brilliant and fancy shaped diamonds, you\u2019ll find that all fancy shaped diamonds cost less per carat than round brilliant diamonds do (assuming the compared diamonds have the same level of quality). But how much less? And which is a better value between princess cut and cushion cut diamonds?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cushion cut diamonds currently have princess cut diamonds beat when it comes to value. On average, princess cut diamonds will cost 10% less than round diamonds of the same carat and quality. While cushion cut diamonds cost around 25% less than round brilliant diamonds of the same carat and quality. However, cushion cut diamonds are starting to become more expensive, due to growing demand for the shape.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Final Thoughts<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Princess cut and cushion cut diamonds are both lovely choices for your engagement ring.
