Im looking at buying a princess cut diamond for my girlfriend. I found this one online at whiteflash.com

for princess and for some square cuts buy a diamond slightly larger then what you are looking for. this is why, when you see a 1ct round and a 1ct princess the princess will look smaller so buy a 1.1-1.15 princess to have that same appearance of a 1ct. its due to the cut and weight being towards the bottom, talk to truthaboutdiamonds.com, check out jamesallen, blue nile, whiteflash. if i were you i would look towards a colorless or near colorless like a D-I color because a princess will show color more then a round, and an ideal cut (excellent cut GIA) to get good light refraction
