- Is a princess-cut diamond a good choice for an engagement ring?
- Yes, if you like a square shape. Princess cuts cost less per carat than rounds and sparkle strongly, but they hide flaws less well, so insist on a good cut grade.
- How does this compare with a round solitaire?
- A round brilliant of the same carat usually looks slightly smaller but hides inclusions better and is more forgiving on cut. The princess cut here gives a bolder, more angular look.
- Will the square corners chip?
- Princess-cut corners are the most vulnerable points. A four-prong setting that covers the corners, as here, protects them, but avoid knocking the ring against hard surfaces.
- Does white gold need maintenance?
- Yes. 14K white gold is rhodium-plated, and the plating wears over time. Most jewelers re-plate it periodically to restore the bright white finish.
- Can I wear a wedding band with it?
- A straight or slightly curved band sits flush against most solitaire settings. Check the band height against the ring's gallery before buying a matching band.
