I am looking for an upgrade on my current ring, I m deciding between a round brilliant or a princess cut? I've heard though that a princess cut can look smaller than a round brilliant? is this true? or just a diamond myth?

Thanx

Yes - I have discussed it with ana Valeria and others - do a search - you should find it.

Rule of thumb - at least 25% more weight for a well cut (rare) princess to look similar to a well cut round.

Good Old Gold  has the Jubilee, as well as different modified square cuts that are beautiful!
