Princess cut solitaire with tapered shank

Princess cut solitaire with tapered shank. This solitaire engagement ring features a princess cut diamond secured by 4 box claws to a tapered ring shank.

Princess cut diamonds are very popular, second only to round brilliant cut engagement rings. Square cuts were developed as an alternative to the round shape, but it took many years to cut them to be nearly as brilliant. 

The original princess cut diamond came out in the 1960s, but it could not compare to the sparkle of the modern princess cut in the 1980s. 

Not only do princess diamonds rival the sparkle of round diamonds, they also allow gem cutters to retain more carat weight. This results in princess diamonds looking bigger than round cut diamond rings of the same carat weight. 

The tapered ring shank is a subtle design difference from your traditional straight band setting. Many choose straight bands to find an easy wedding band to slide up underneath. 

But at RING Jewellers, you can choose any kind of band whether it’s tapered like this one, twisted, curvy, or angled. We can create a matching wedding band that fits snugly against your chosen engagement ring with any shank design. 

Our ring settings are available in a variety of metals including gold, platinum, and palladium. Some types of diamond rings and wedding bands can be made in additional metals. We offer both 9ct and 18ct gold in white, rose, and yellow gold. 

If princess cut diamonds aren’t your favourite, you can modify this engagement ring and all our jewellery to suit your tastes. We have many diamond shapes to choose from, as well as clarity and colour grades too. 

We carry natural diamonds and lab grown diamonds in a variety of carat weights and grades so that our customers are able to mix and match to suit a wide set of price ranges.
