PrincessPlus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
PrincessPlus, also known as "The Brighter Princess Cut", is one of a number of new branded diamond cuts that have been developed over the last decade. The diamond is technically referred to as a modified princess cut.
[edit] Brief background
The princess cut is a relatively new diamond cut, having been created in the 1970s. The cut is sometimes referred to as a "square modified brilliant", as it combines the brilliance of a round cut with an overall square or rectangular appearance. Today, the princess cut is the second most popular diamond shape, second only to rounds.
[edit] Detailed description
PrincessPlus was created in 2000 by EFD, a prominent princess cut manufacturer. The PrincessPlus diamond has more facets (100-115) than an ordinary princess cut diamond (58-68).
In addition to having more facets, the angles at which they are placed further differentiates the PrincessPlus diamond from regular princess cuts. These differences enhance the diamond's brilliance, or sparkle. The brilliance of a diamond can be tested using light analysis technology.
