Princess cut engagement rings of this type are getting to be increasingly popular nowadays. Another style of the princess cut engagement rings is the three stone engagement ring which happens to be one of the classic styles.

This is due to the fact that white gold setting does not bring any color to the diamond. Diamonds are known to pick up the body tone and hue that is reflected from the mounting. If the tone is yellow, the diamond will appear yellow. You must know that yellow diamonds look smaller while the white ones look bigger. Hence prong heads in the princess cut engagement rings are always made of white gold. A lot depends on the prongs on your engagement ring. How grand the princess cut engagement rings will depend on how many prongs they have. The prong settings raise the stone from its base making it look a lot grander. It is better if you opt for four prongs rather than six prongs as six will cover up more of the diamond and also lock the light from entering it. The four prong settings are a lot cleaner, less gaudy and very elegant. They even let in more light so that your diamond shines better.
