Diamond Ring
Posted on April 30th, 2009 No commentsWhile the brilliant round diamond solitaires may dominant the market, for a ring that offers an equal amount of sparkle but with a striking and contemporary feel, princess cut engagement rings are unbeatable. Developed in the 1970s after several years of research, the square princess cut was created by Ygal Perlman, Betzalel Ambar and Israel Itzkowitz.
Generally, any diamond engagement ring is very costly and an average earner has to bear a huge amount of money that may be equivalent to three months’ salary and lots of savings too. Clearly, such a heavy investments must be first secured by appraising and insuring the ring.
Forerunners to the princess itself included the profile and the barion cut, created by Basil Watermeyer. This was almost a hybrid of the princess and the emerald, although strict patenting for 25 years meant it was prevented from being widely used.This was not the first square cut for a diamond. Prior to its inception the emerald and Asscher cuts were used, but these were not able to generate the same brilliance and fire. Their flat, broad facets afforded flashes of light and were devastating in their own way but were not known for their sheer scintillation.
