Make Sure to Cover the Corners?
When buying your engagement ring, ensure that the ring has four prongs that cover the four corners of the princess diamond. This has a twofold advantage;
Firstly, the corners of a princess diamond were once near the outer edge of the original rough stone making it the most likely area for the presence of flaws. Hence, covering the four edges of the princess diamond with the prongs, will in effect make these flaws invisible too.
Secondly, the corner of a princess diamond is also the most likely area for the princess diamond to chip. For this reason, please ensure that when setting your princess diamond, the prongs cover the four corners of the diamond
