A princess cut is a square stone with pointed corners and brilliant faceting, so it combines a crisp geometric outline with strong sparkle.
How big is a princess stone?
A princess moissanite measures about 5.6 mm at 1 ct and about 7.1 mm at 2 ct. Our size guide shows every carat at true size on a calibrated screen, and each product page has a free virtual try-on.
Where it works best
Princess stones are set with prongs on the corners, which protect the points. They suit solitaire and halo rings, studs and pendants, and look modern beside straight-edged bands. Browse all moissanite rings, moissanite earrings and moissanite necklaces to compare shapes.
Questions
Is princess cut moissanite good for everyday wear?
Yes. Moissanite rates 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, harder than every gem except diamond, so the stone suits daily wear. Plated finishes stay brightest if you take your jewellery off for chlorinated pools, hot tubs and cleaning products.
Which metals and finishes are available?
Every piece is made in 925 sterling silver, and many are finished in 18K yellow, white or rose gold plating or platinum plating. The product page names the finish, and Materials & sourcing explains each one.
