Cut White
When shopping for princess cut diamond rings, there are many ways to make them appear larger than they actually are. And exactly how does one go about this without considerably spending more money? There are quite a few nifty little tricks you can utilize, and if you put the following techniques to work, you can definitely get a diamond that is bigger than it’s true carat weight.
- Follow The Paved Road – Consider a style that uses several small stones instead of one large stone. Known as a pave setting, small diamonds are fitted into tiny holes and mounted in rows. This gives them the appearance of having been paved like a street of cobblestones. In this setting, it is difficult to distinguish individual stones, which gives the illusion of more and larger looking stones.
- Add Side Stones – The three stone engagement ring is a very classic style right now. These three stones are said to represent the past, present and future. By adding two smaller princess stones on the left and right, the whole ring will look inherently bigger. This is because it takes the eyes off of the main focal point, which is the center stone and draws them to look at the ring as a whole.
- Mount It In White Gold – Some say the color of the mounting won’t change the size of the diamond, but it really boils down to personal opinion. However, the majority believe a stone that is set in a white gold setting will make it look larger. The reason for this is because the mounting brings no color into the diamond. Diamonds tend to pick up hue and body tone that is reflected off the mounting. If the tone is yellow, it will make your gemstone look yellow. This is why prong heads are always made of white gold. Yellow diamonds look smaller, whereas white looks bigger.
- The Perfect Illusion – To make princess cut diamond rings appear larger, choose an illusion setting. This is a method where the gemstone is mounted on a mirror-type plate before setting it into the band. The mirror-plate in the back reflects more light, making the setting seem bigger and more brilliant. The downside to this, however, is that repairs are more difficult, and can be costly, as a result.
- It’s All In The Prongs – Prong settings elevate the stone from it’s base, making it look grander. In this case, you want to go with four prongs instead of six. Six prong heads cover up a lot more of your diamond by blocking light that enters it. Four prong settings are much cleaner, more elegant and less gaudy. They also let in more light, which allows your gem to shine.
- A Clean Diamond Is A Bigger Diamond – Princess cut rings that are dirty appear to shrink! If you don’t clean your jewels, you are not doing them any justice. When diamonds look dirty and dark, they look dull and small. It is wise to clean your gemstone, preferably, every other day. To do this, use hot water, ammonia and dish soap. Remove any debris with an old toothbrush. If you stick to this routine, it will keep your stone looking bigger, brighter and larger than life.
Indeed, who doesn’t want a large flawless gemstone for an affordable price? The problem is, you probably won’t find one. Well if the grass is greener on the other side, just water yours! You now know the secrets to getting larger looking princess cut diamond rings, and the best part about it? You pay the same reasonable price!
