How Many Facets In a Princess-Cut Diamond?

A princess-cut diamond can have 50 facets. However, the number of facets can vary slightly depending on the specific cut of the diamond. Modifications to the cut can increase the facets to 57, which is the most common number of facets for the princess cut.


How Are Princess-Shaped Engagement Rings and Cushion-Cut Engagement Rings Different?

Both princess-shaped and cushion-cut engagement rings feature a square shape. However, cushion-cut diamonds have a softer, more romantic look due to their larger facets, rounded corners, and shallower pavilion (the bottom part of the diamond). Princess-cut diamonds have a lower crown, sharp corners, and a deeper pavilion, which gives them a more brilliant, sparkly appearance.
