The difference with a princess cut engagement ring is that its cut has pointed corners, so keep in mind that the setting for your princess cut engagement rings should protect the corners of the diamond. It was cut so that the facets will produce a shine and brilliance very similar to a round brilliant, but because of the way the facets are cut, the yellow or green colours can be seen in the corners if the diamond is not fairly colourless. For these rings, a G rating or above will probably look best. On the bright side, internal flaws and weaknesses are less visible in princess cut engagement rings.
