Princess Cut Diamond Stud Earrings

Popular with buyers looking for a sleek and modern pair of diamond studs, princess cut diamonds are one of the freshest diamond cuts out there. Cheaper than round-cut diamonds and larger-looking, the princess-cut diamond is a true testament to ingenuity and craftsmanship.

The history of the princess cut diamond is a bit confusing and kind of wild. If you look around the internet, you’ll see that quite a few different guys get credited with the invention of the princess cut. The first guy, Arpad Nagy, created a diamond cut in 1961 in London that he dubbed “the princess cut.” This diamond wasn’t much of a hit, and the public didn’t view it as anything fit for a title of nobility. It got renamed the “profile cut” diamond, which is way less regal.

If you want to give credit where credit is due, you have three men in Israel to thank for the invention of the modern princess cut diamond. These three guys—Betzalel Ambar, his father-in-law Ygal Perlman, and Israel Itzkowitz—joined forces, spending about a decade studying diamond optics and cutting methods, aspiring to invent a revolutionary diamond cut.

Their breakthrough was a diamond cut they released in 1970. It would go on to be an award-winning diamond cut, which maximized the diamond’s brilliance without wasting as much of the rough diamond as other cuts. Betzalel wanted to name it the “princess cut” but found out that it was taken, so they called it the “Quadrillion cut.” That being said, it’s the real OG princess-cut diamond.

Even though it wasn’t invented until 1979, princess-cut diamonds are the second most popular diamond cut, after round diamonds. Princess cut diamond stud earrings remain one of the coolest diamond stud shapes of all time.

Benefits of Princess Cut Diamond Earrings

There’s a reason why princess-cut diamonds are the second most popular diamond shape, despite their modernity. The modern princess-cut diamond maximizes the sparkle of the stone without wasting as much of the rough diamond. Because princess-cut diamonds save more of the raw diamond, you can buy princess cut diamond studs and other princess cut diamond jewelry far cheaper than round-cut diamonds.

Princess cut diamond earrings offer the following benefits:

• The diamond studs look bigger for their carat size
• Cool and modern geometric design
• Sparkliest rectangular/square diamond cut
• Cheap compared to round-cut diamonds

If you want a pair of square diamond stud earrings, the princess cut diamond is your best choice if you like sparkly diamond studs. In terms of brilliance, the princess cut outshines the cushion cut, radiant cut, emerald cut, and Asscher cut.

Although popular for women and men, men’s princess cut diamond earrings are one of the most popular earring styles for guys. Their angular shape means that they go with streetwear styles, men’s formal wear, athletic clothing, and pretty much everything under the sun. They make for a great pair of everyday wear diamond stud earrings.
