Princess Cut Diamond

Princess cut diamonds are faceted similar to a brilliant, which means they reflect light very well. If you are looking for a square shaped diamond, then princess may be your best bet. They were especially popular in the 1990s and continue to be the second most popular today. 

Please note that GIA refers to princess cut diamonds as square modified brilliant or, in case the diamond is not square, rectangular modified brilliants.
