When choosing a color grade, consider that while the price of a J-color non-round diamond is exceptional, color may be slightly visible in its corners. Also,
princess-cut diamonds can vary greatly in how square or rectangular they are. This will determine what the diamond will look like when viewing it from above.
Compared to a Round Brilliant, the craftsman can keep the most part of the original stone when cutting an octahedron into a Princess shape. The square corners of the rough need to be cut away to create a Round, but they are saved when the stone is cutting into a Princess shape. The more he saves of his original rough stone, the less the cutter loses on his financial investment in the stone, and therefore the buyer pay less as well. For a princess diamond shape that is square, look for length-to-width ratios
between 1 and 1.05. If you prefer more of a rectangular shape, look for length-to-width ratios bigger than 1.10.
Platinum is usually considered as a native element even though there is never 100% pure platinum in nature. When extracted, platinum is rather impure and it normally contains small quantities of other mineral elements. The most common source of platinum is from placer deposits.
In jewelry platinum is mainly processed to a grade of 95% as stamped in the different jewelry items through the Pt 950 hallmark. In addition to its strength and density, platinum has another remarkable quality - pliability. This quality has enabled jewelers to create some amazing versatile platinum mesh accessories, which could not be fashioned from other precious metals.
Platinum princess diamond engagement ring is the perfect choice for a lifetime of everyday wear. Its density and weight make it more durable than other jewelry metals. Platinum does not wear away and holds precious stones firmly and securely. Like all precious metals, platinum resists scratches. However, the scratch on a platinum piece is merely a displacement of the metal and none of its volume is lost. So, even though wearing it each and every day may leave an impression on the surface, it remains what
it was - a symbol for eternal love between lovers.
