Lab Diamond Princess Cut Engagement Rings

Yellow and Rose Gold Options

Yellow gold and rose gold bring warmth to this silhouette, creating a romantic aesthetic that pairs beautifully with the geometric lines. Our 18k yellow gold options offer a classic look that has remained popular for generations, while rose gold provides a contemporary alternative with its subtle pink hue. Both metals are handcrafted to highlight the brilliant facets and maximise light return. Gold settings work particularly well for those with warmer skin tones and remain a timeless choice for gifts and proposals alike.

Platinum and White Gold Options

For cooler tones, platinum and white gold offer a sleek, modern style that complements lab grown stones beautifully. Platinum is the densest precious metal, providing exceptional durability for everyday wear and a naturally white finish that never fades or requires replating. White gold offers a similar aesthetic at a more accessible price point, with rhodium plating that maintains its bright appearance. Both metals allow the centre stone to take full focus, creating a clean and contemporary look.

Solitaire and Halo Styles

A single stone setting places full focus on the centre, letting the facets do the work without distraction. This minimalist approach suits the geometric shape perfectly and remains the most popular choice for engagement rings. Surrounding designs add smaller stones around the centre, creating brilliance and making it appear larger. Shoulder set styles feature stones along the band for extra sparkle from every angle. Whether you prefer understated elegance or statement presence, our range includes gifts in gold and platinum to suit every taste.

Choosing Your Carat Size

This shape faces up larger than round stones of the same carat weight, offering excellent value for those seeking presence on the finger. A 1 carat stone provides a classic, elegant look suitable for everyday wear, while 1.5 to 2 carat options make more of a statement. Our collection includes stones across a range of sizes, allowing you to balance size, quality and budget. Lab grown options provide significant savings compared to mined alternatives, meaning you can often choose a larger stone within the same budget.

FAQs

What does a princess cut engagement ring mean?

This silhouette symbolises modern love and commitment. Created in the 1960s, it quickly became the second most popular choice after round brilliant for its exceptional light performance and contemporary feel.

Is this style more expensive?

These cuts typically offer better value as they retain more rough stone during cutting. Lab grown options provide significant savings compared to mined alternatives while maintaining identical quality.

What is the difference between princess and square cut?

They are the same. The technical name refers to a modified brilliant with pointed corners, while square describes its appearance.
