A square engagement ring is also called a princess cut engagement ring. It is quite a modern diamond shape that has existed since the 1960s. Square engagement rings are typically diamond engagement rings rather than gemstone rings. Traditional brides are drawn to diamond engagement rings because of their unmistakable sparkle that you can’t get anywhere else! The princess cut was originally designed to optimise the dazzle of a raw diamond that lacks the depth for popular cuts like round and cushion.
For those who love clean lines and straight edges, then a square engagement could be your calling. Not only this, but they are generally more affordable than brilliant-cut diamonds because of the economy of the cut. In the cutting process, they lose much less raw material than rounds when they are cut from a raw stone - making them have a lower price-per-carat.
Timeless style with a touch of vintage elegance means that the princess cut is anything but basic. Traditional truly meets contemporary style in these rings and they are some of our favourite pieces! We have rounded up some of our best square engagement rings below.

1. Princess Cut Solitaire Engagement Rings
The princess cut is the most popular square diamond shape. Its sharp corners and pyramid-like facets give it a crisp, modern sparkle. A solitaire setting keeps all the attention on that geometric shape. A 1/2 carat princess cut diamond in four claws on a slim 9ct yellow gold band is a classic choice that never dates. For a bolder look, a full carat Luminesce lab-grown princess cut gives you a much bigger stone for your budget. If you’d like the look for less, a princess cut cubic zirconia set in sterling silver, with a channel of sparkle down each side of the band, is an easy everyday option.
