Princess Cut Engagement Rings

We offer both natural and lab-grown princess diamonds for all engagement rings, and princess cuts deliver brilliant sparkle, whether they're lab-grown or natural, as they're chemically and visually identical. The faceting pattern hides inclusions reasonably well, though you'll still want good clarity since the open table shows the stone's interior. Factor this alongside the fact that lab-grown princess diamonds typically cost 30% less than natural ones at the same specifications, and you can choose a larger stone or better quality grade within your budget. Visit our Adelaide studio to compare both options in person.

Each princess ring is custom-made in Adelaide specifically for you. Princess cuts vary in their proportions; some are perfectly square, others slightly rectangular. You'll select your diamond based on the shape ratio you prefer, then choose your setting style and metal. The sharp corners of princess cuts require protective prongs at all four points, which we design and craft to ensure both security and aesthetics.

Princess cut rings typically take 4-8 weeks from order to completion, and this includes sourcing your princess diamond, handcrafting the setting with corner protection, and quality checks. The four-pointed corners require precise prong placement, which our jewellers handle with care. Simple designs may be slightly quicker, while elaborate settings take the full timeline. If you need your ring by a certain date, tell us upfront, and we'll do our best to schedule accordingly.

Once finished, Australian delivery takes 2-5 business days via insured courier. Adelaide customers can also choose hand delivery or collection from our Hyde Park studio. International shipping varies by destination (generally one to three weeks, depending on customs clearance), and we'll provide specific timing based on your location when you place your order.

We ship princess cut rings to every Australian state and territory using tracked, insured courier services. Each ring is securely packaged with full insurance coverage during transit, and you'll receive tracking information to follow its progress. 

Princess cut rings can be made in 18k yellow gold, 18k white gold, 18k rose gold, 14k gold options, or platinum. The geometric, contemporary nature of princess cuts pairs particularly well with white metals like platinum or white gold, which emphasise the clean angles and brilliant faceting. Yellow and rose gold create a striking contrast with the sharp corners, while platinum offers maximum durability for the corner prongs that protect the stone's vulnerable points. We'll discuss which metal suits your aesthetic and practical needs.

Princess rings pair well with wedding bands, as the square or rectangular shape typically allows straight bands to sit relatively close, though corner prong placement affects the exact fit. Many couples choose straight bands that complement the princess cut's geometric lines, but channel-set or pave bands with princess or round diamonds can echo the engagement ring's sparkle. We can design your ring with a wedding band pairing as a consideration from the start.

Every princess ring is designed and crafted in our Adelaide studio. Our jewellers build each setting from the ground up, with particular attention to corner prong placement since princess cuts have four vulnerable points that need protection. We can also customise the setting to suit your specific stone's proportions and we’ll ensure the corners are properly secured while maintaining clean, geometric lines.

We source princess diamonds from 0.40ct to 3ct and beyond, with most customers selecting between 0.70ct and 2ct. Princess cuts appear slightly smaller than round diamonds at the same carat weight due to their depth; more of the stone's weight is hidden below the setting. However, their brilliant faceting creates excellent sparkle that maximises visual impact. We'll help you choose a size that looks proportional on your hand while considering the cut quality and clarity that princess shapes deserve.

Yes. Every shipment includes complete insurance at the ring's full appraised value, delivered via tracked courier with signature requirement, and you'll receive tracking details when it ships. After delivery, you should arrange your own jewellery insurance, as princess diamonds have four-pointed corners that, while protected by proper prong settings, benefit from comprehensive coverage. We can recommend insurers experienced with fine jewellery if you need guidance.
