Poor Princess Cut?

[soulsis]

I always hear little bits and pieces about PC diamonds. Apparently, there is no standard for cutting them or something??

I had a 1.10 princess diamond and it sparkled more than any round I have ever seen on my friends'' fingers...even though their''s were bigger. How could it not be a good cut? Do they cut corners (literally) on the quality?

Hi Soulsis,
Actually, there are a number if different designs that are called "Princess Cut"- therefore you can find two stones of similar weight, color and clarity, yet look totally different.


Although there are people who would like for there to be a "standard"= none exists, and it''s not likely to in the future.
