Frequently Asked Questions

How much more affordable are lab-grown princess diamonds compared to natural diamonds?

Lab-grown princess diamonds cost 60-70% less than natural diamonds at equivalent specifications. A €3,000 budget accesses a 1.60-carat lab-grown princess versus a 0.80-carat natural equivalent.

Which engagement ring settings work best with princess diamonds?

Princess diamonds work beautifully in solitaire, halo, pavé, and three-stone settings. Settings require four-prong configurations protecting pointed corners whilst showcasing the square shape.

Do princess diamonds look larger than round diamonds at the same carat weight?

Princess diamonds appear similar in size to round diamonds at identical carat weight with comparable surface area. The square shape creates different visual proportions emphasising width rather than traditional roundness.

Are lab-grown princess diamonds suitable for daily wear?

Yes, lab-grown princess diamonds possess identical hardness (10 on Mohs scale) to natural diamonds. Ring durability depends on proper prong protection at corners rather than diamond origin.

Why are princess diamonds less expensive than round diamonds?

Princess diamonds cost 20-30% less because cutting retains more rough diamond material during manufacturing. Round brilliant cuts waste approximately 50% of rough material, whilst princess cuts retain significantly more.
