The Origin of the Princess Cut
The princess cut emerged in the 1970s, created as a modern alternative to the round diamond. It was designed to maximize brilliance while retaining more of the diamond’s rough crystal, making it both stunning and efficient.
With 57 or 76 carefully angled facets, the princess cut reflects light beautifully from every corner, resulting in an intense sparkle and a crisp, geometric allure that appeals to both classic and contemporary tastes.
At TrueCut, every princess diamond is lab-grown, certified, and precision-cut — offering the brilliance you expect, with the integrity you deserve.
