The princess cut is the most geometric diamond shape: a perfect square face with sharp corners and 58 brilliant facets arranged to return light through the crown in a pattern of intense, concentrated fire that no other square cut achieves. The four-prong setting holds the stone at each corner, leaving the four faces of the princess cut open to light and maximizing the brilliance that enters and exits the stone from every angle. The plain band — no pavé, no milgrain, no engraving — keeps the focus entirely on the diamond, making the 1ct princess cut the sole visual statement of the ring. This is the ring for those who want the diamond to be the entire story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStone Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter stone: 1ct princess-cut lab-grown diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: Four-prong head — one prong at each corner of the square, holding the stone securely while maximizing light exposure on all four faces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiamond: Lab-grown, colorless, eye-clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConflict-free, ethically sourced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesign Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter stone: 1ct princess cut lab diamond, four-prong set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBand: Plain polished shank — no pavé, no milgrain, no engraving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfile: Low cathedral — the band rises gently from the shank to the setting, elevating the center stone above the finger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner shank: Comfort-fit, slightly rounded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in: 14K Yellow Gold, 14K White Gold, 14K Rose Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Princess Cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe princess cut was developed in the 1960s as a square alternative to the round brilliant — a cut that could deliver the fire and scintillation of a brilliant cut in a square silhouette that no previous square cut had achieved. Its 58 facets are arranged in a chevron pattern beneath the square table, creating a light return pattern that is more intense and more concentrated than the round brilliant in some lighting conditions and equally brilliant in others. The square face of the princess cut sits differently on the finger than an oval or round stone: it reads as bold, geometric, and confident — a stone that makes a statement through its shape as much as through its size. At 1ct, the princess cut has a face-up diameter of approximately 5.5mm — a size that is substantial enough to read clearly on the finger and precise enough to wear comfortably every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Four-Prong Corner Setting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe four-prong setting of the Princess Cut Solitaire places one prong at each corner of the square diamond — the most natural and most secure way to hold a princess cut. The corner prongs protect the four sharp corners of the princess cut — the most vulnerable points of the stone, where chipping is most likely to occur — while leaving the four faces of the diamond completely open to light. This prong placement maximizes the light that enters and exits the princess cut from its four faces, enhancing its brilliance and fire, while the four prongs provide secure, symmetrical support that holds the stone in precise alignment with the band. The prongs are slim and tapered, minimizing their visual presence and allowing the princess cut to read as the dominant element of the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Plain Band\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plain polished band of the Princess Cut Solitaire is a deliberate design choice — a band that disappears beneath the center stone, leaving nothing between the princess cut diamond and the finger but the four slim corner prongs that hold it. The plain band is the most enduring band design in fine jewelry: it does not date, it does not compete with the center stone, and it pairs naturally with any wedding band — plain gold, diamond eternity, or pavé — without creating visual conflict. The comfort-fit inner shank — slightly rounded on the inside — makes the ring comfortable for all-day wear, distributing the weight of the band evenly across the finger rather than concentrating it at the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Lab-Grown Diamond?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLab-grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds — the same carbon crystal structure, the same hardness (10 on the Mohs scale), the same refractive index, the same fire and brilliance. They are graded by the same gemological laboratories using the same 4Cs criteria. A 1ct lab-grown princess cut delivers the same visual impact as a 1ct mined princess cut — the same square face, the same corner prongs, the same concentrated fire — at a price point that makes the 1ct size accessible without compromise on cut quality or color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCraftsmanship Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal: Solid 14K Gold (Yellow, White, or Rose)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter stone: 1ct princess-cut lab-grown diamond, four-prong corner set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBand: Plain polished shank, comfort-fit inner profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfile: Low cathedral setting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandcrafted in our Queens, NYC workshop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStyling Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Princess Cut Solitaire pairs naturally with a plain gold band or a slim diamond eternity band worn on the same finger. Its plain band width is narrow enough to sit flush against most wedding bands without a gap, and its low cathedral profile accommodates a flat-profile band beside it without lifting the center stone uncomfortably high. In white gold, the cool metal and colorless diamond create a clean, icy precision. In yellow gold, the warm metal gives the colorless princess cut a rich, editorial contrast that is simultaneously classic and current. In rose gold, the warm blush metal creates a romantic warmth that softens the geometric severity of the square cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGifting \u0026amp; Occasions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Princess Cut Solitaire Engagement Ring is the ideal proposal ring for those who value clean geometry, modern restraint, and the diamond as the sole statement. Its plain band and classic four-prong setting make it appropriate for any style and any occasion, and its 1ct princess cut delivers the visual impact of a statement ring in the most enduring and most versatile solitaire format we make.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur Story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our Queens atelier, the Princess Cut Solitaire was designed around a single conviction: that the most beautiful engagement ring is the one that makes the diamond the entire story. The plain band was chosen because it disappears beneath the center stone. The four corner prongs were chosen because they protect the stone and maximize its light. The princess cut was chosen because it is the most geometric, the most modern, and the most concentrated expression of diamond brilliance in a square silhouette. Named for the SoHo neighborhood where the design was first sketched — clean lines, confident geometry, no unnecessary ornament — the SoHo Princess is a ring that earns its name with every movement of the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrincess Cut Solitaire Engagement Ring in your chosen metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Pearl of Queens signature gift box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReady-to-gift packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduction \u0026amp; Shipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade to order in 7–10 business days.
