The difference in price comes down primarily to the diamond itself. The princess cut is popular with jewelers because it retains more of the rough stone than the round brilliant cut. This means that the average price per carat for a princess cut diamond is usually (but not always) less than that of a round cut stone.

The other factors you will need to consider is the colour and clarity of the ring. As always it is better to buy a slightly smaller diamond with better colour and clarity ratings, than a big one. The reason is that these are the two factors that really make a diamond sparkle. So, while a big stone may look impressive at first glance, it won't hold up under all light and environmental conditions.

Knowing this can save you a lot of money since the price of all princess cut diamond solitaire engagement rings are primarily determined by the carat weight of the diamond itself. The only other factor that affects price that has not been discussed, is the setting and ring metal. Generally speaking this will be either gold or platinum although some other metals are sometimes used.

In most cases, you will want to make sure the setting and ring itself use metal that is roughly proportional to the price of the diamond. So for example, if you are buying an extremely cheap low-quality diamond you may opt for really cheap metal like sterling silver or 10K gold. On the other hand, this would make no sense if you buying better quality, higher-end ring. In this case you would want at least 18K gold, if not platinum.

But at the end of the day it all comes down to what you, or your fiancée prefers and can afford. There is no right or wrong answer when it comes diamond jewelry. That's why we have a huge selection for you to choose from. Chances are you will find something you like, if you have a good look.
