Round vs. Princess

So, I've decided to tackle the issue of getting a round diamond or a princess. As a person with jewelry knowledge considering looks, and history...the Round is the BEST shape and cut to get. "Why?" you may ask. Well, here are the perks of a round:

-Rounds (if cut correctly to Ideal proportions--We here at Bellistons sell almost exclusively Ideal Cut diamonds) have the most fire and brilliance than any other cut. More sparkly for us girls!

-Rounds are classic.

-Rounds can be passed on to your children and children's children because of their classic nature. If a heart-shaped diamond had been popular with your grandma, would you want it?

Right now with diamond trends, your princess is the most popular next to the round. It's got more of a modern edge to it that a lot of brides are favoring at the moment. Got that? At the moment. Think back twenty to fifteen years ago. Many of the women who got married then most likely have a marquise shape diamond, huh? (Marquise cut is the one that looks like a rain drop, but is pointed on each end) That is, unless she was smart and got the classic round. But nowadays, we can't even sell the few marquise diamonds that we have, so we don't even keep more than two in stock. Here are some of the downsides of a princess:

-The edges of a princess are actually more vulnerable than any part of a round diamond. If the corners of that princess are hit, there is a very large chance that it will chip!

-It's a fad. In fifteen to ten years, it will most likely be out of style or nearly there.

-Princesses DON'T sparkle as much as a round.

-Princess diamonds are not necessarily square either. Good luck getting it to stay tight and secure longer than the round.

Okay, I'm not bitter against princesses. I actually really wanted one a few years ago. But now, I've been converted and I'm just trying to tell the world! What are your views?
