Engagements are not the only occasion for a diamond ring! A large percentage of diamond ring sales are indeed made to men proposing to their partners. But these days, more and more women are buying diamond rings for themselves! Modern women have more financial independence than in the past. They are in a far better position to get what they want and get it for themselves, rather than relying on a man. Modern princesses who want a diamond ring know that don’t have to wait for marriage - so what better way to spoil yourself than with a Princess diamond ring!

Princess diamonds are the height of fashion right now. Whether set into necklaces, earrings, or rings, this classically shaped stone is sure to look stunning on any woman. The princess diamond was originally created by Ygal Perlman, Betzalel Ambar, and Israel Itzkowitz in Israel in 1979, and has steadily grown in popularity since then. Its closest sibling is the classic round shaped diamond, which is currently the world’s most popular diamond. However the Princess diamond does have an advantage over the round diamond due to its price - it is generally lower in price per carat as there is less wastage when the stone is cut.

The Princess diamond has a distinctive square shape, although viewed side on it is closer to a pyramid shape. This cut accentuates the “fire” of the diamond, rather than the “luster”. The fire refers to the brilliance and depth of the diamond, rather than it’s shiny surface. The fire of the diamond is what makes it sparkle brilliantly when it catches the light. For those women who want to make a strong, bold statement with their jewellery, the Princess diamond ring is for you. It will be impossible to miss the sight of this diamond blazing under the light!

The Princess diamond is a real head turner. In Hollywood, A-List stars are getting in on the trend, and Princess diamond rings have been popping up on red carpets around the world. Celebrities such as Star Jones have shown off their Princess diamond engagement rings at every opportunity!

The first step in shopping for your own Princess diamond ring is to decide on the details of the ring. There are many different designs and settings available for this popular diamond, so you have many options open to you. All you have to do is make the hard decision on what you like the most! As with any diamond jewellery, it is important to only buy from a reputable dealer, and to only buy jewellery that contains certified diamonds. If the diamond is certified that means it has been analysed carefully by an authorised body, and any minute flaws will be listed on the certificate. This is the only way that you can ensure that you are buying a quality Princess diamond.

If you have read a little about diamonds you may know of the “Four C’s” of diamond quality - these are the cut, colour, clarity and carat weight. However, if you are inexperienced in the field you probably will not know exactly what to look for. In this case, you should ask the jeweller for help. If they are a high-class reputable dealer they will have no problem with teaching you about the importance of the “Four C’s” and how to look for them.

A Princess diamond ring will be a magical addition to your jewellery collection. So why wait? You no longer have to wait for a man to buy you a diamond ring as a gift, you can go out and buy one for yourself!
