History of the Princess Cut Diamonds
The princess cut diamond is a new cut, as its creation surfaced in the 1960s only to rise in popularity much later. The Barion cut diamond, created by Basil Watermeyer of South Africa and named after his wife Marion, was the seed for what is today known as the princess cut diamond. It featured 81 facets and had 4-fold mirror-image symmetry.
Apard Nagy in the year 1971 patented his variation of the square cut diamond, then known as the ‘Profile Cut‘. Said to have been designed in 1961, it featured 58 facets and had a flatter appearance than the Princess cut diamond of today.
This cut increased in popularity during the 1970s after its widespread distribution in Israel by Israel Itzkowitz, Ygal Perlman, and Betzalel Ambar.
The ‘Quadrillion’ next entered the scene. Similar to the ‘Profile Cut’ but with 49 facets, the Quadrillion, as it was named, was initially distributed by Ambar Diamonds in Los Angeles and was trademarked in 1980. With the advancement in technology, many new versions of princess cut diamonds have been introduced, with the most recent one being introduced by Robert Forster and Vinubhai G. Dhanani in 2013. They developed a princess cut design that was fashioned with 129 facets.
