What does princess cut mean?

The princess cut is a very popular diamond shape. It is a square or rectangular shape with a brilliant cut, meaning it is designed to maximize light reflection and sparkle.

Princess cut diamonds were first created in the 1960s and have since become a classic choice for engagement rings and other fine jewelry. They are prized for their brilliance, fire, and scintillation.

Rather than diamond, Jowissa utilizes expertly cut mineral glass (for watches) and Austrian crystal (for jewelry), each piece faceted in the princess cut to capture and reflect light with exceptional brilliance.

The term "brilliant cut" in the world of diamonds refers to a specific way of cutting a diamond to maximize its brilliance, which is the amount of light it reflects back to the viewer. It's not just about the shape of the diamond, but also the arrangement and number of facets (the flat surfaces on a diamond).

Brilliant cut diamonds have a large number of facets, typically 57 or 58. These facets are strategically placed to capture light entering the diamond and reflect it back out. The round brilliant cut is the most popular and widely recognized.
