In the spot lighting environment, the princess cut diamond displays intense fire and brilliance.

In the first spotlighting environment, you can see the diamond flare up with tons of beautiful sparkle and brilliance. You can also see that the individual facets of light up and there are no dead spots. For a square cut diamond, you also want to see good edge to edge brightness like what is seen here.

Even though this is an H near colorless diamond, there is no tint of any color at all and you probably won't even know what color grade this is until I told you about it. On top of that, this is an SI1 diamond which is usually classified as being "low quality".

People are scared of SI1 diamonds because they don't understand or know what they are buying. When a square cut diamond like this is selected well, you get an eyeclean diamond. The better cut performance of the diamond also helps the stone to hide inclusions and mask body color.

Even in unfavorable lighting conditions like diffused lighting or shaded outdoor environments, this diamond is able to hold its own weight and looks really bright and white. Unlike most other princess cut diamonds with large tables and shallow depths, this diamond is able to reflect light properly.

In other lighting environments like the direct sunlight, the diamond exhibits alot of colorful fire and it really attracts attention. So, if you are someone who is out to make a fashion statement and want to stand out, you may want to consider a similar looking ring like this.
