KEY FEATURES:
Sharp Corner Protection: The secure prong setting specifically protects the delicate corners of the princess cut diamond, ensuring longevity and reducing chipping risks during daily activities.
Visual Size Hack: Princess cuts have a larger face up appearance relative to cost compared to round diamonds; opting for this shape maximizes perceived size for your budget.
Versatile Stacking Profile: The cathedral style elevation allows a wedding band to sit flush against the engagement ring, eliminating awkward gaps and creating a cohesive bridal set.
Maintenance Tip for Square Cuts: Use a soft bristled toothbrush and mild soap weekly; square corners can trap dust more easily than rounds, so regular cleaning keeps the fire at its peak.
Metal Choice Guide: Select platinum or 14K gold for the highest durability if you work with your hands; choose 925 sterling silver for occasional wear or as a stylish, low risk travel ring substitute.
Graded Certification Included: Purchases of centre stones 1.00 CT and above come with an official diamond certificate, providing third bparty verification of your gem’s 4Cs (Cut, Colour, Clarity, Carat) for complete peace of mind.
