Princess Cut Natural Diamond Engagement Rings

Princess Natural Diamond Engagement Rings: Where the Stone Sets the Price

The chevron facets in the pavilion of a princess return light in a tight, crisp pattern that stays lively in a plain setting. That stone is most of the cost in each of the 580 or more princess natural diamond engagement ring designs shown here, and you choose it from 28,922 natural princess diamonds in stock today, 25,364 of them filmed in 360 HD video. Once the current savings are applied, a natural princess can be had from $150. Between 0.90 and 1.10 carats, which is the size these designs are pictured at, the lowest price is $545 and the median is $1,706. Set with a 1 carat natural princess in 14K white gold, as pictured today, the Linda comfort fit solitaire comes to $2,760, the Bellora hidden halo to $3,540 and the Vivian solitaire to $3,090, stone included. All of these figures come from the inventory count of October 19, 2026 and are refreshed regularly.

Per carat, a natural princess is cheaper than a natural round, since the cutter can keep most of the octahedral rough instead of grinding it away. Face up it looks a touch smaller than a round of the same weight, because part of that weight is hidden in the depth and the four corners. Those corners are also the weak point of a princess cut engagement ring, which is why the setting section further down is mostly about covering them.

Natural Princess Stones at Each Carat Weight

From one carat band to the next a princess keeps its square outline and faceting, so stepping up is about spread on the finger and price. The table follows that price band by band for the 28,922 natural princesses in our inventory; its rows add up to that total. The 0.50 to 0.89 ct band is the fullest, with 12,948 stones. Medians come to $1,706 for 0.90 to 1.10 carats, $9,261 for 1.90 to 2.10 and $22,746 for 2.90 to 3.10. No matter which princess cut engagement ring design you choose, you pay for stone and setting together, and a different stone in the same mounting moves the total. Bands with their own ring page are linked.

Picking Color and Clarity for a Princess

A princess flashes from many small facets, so minor inclusions tend to vanish while a lower color grade can show a little warmth in the corners. The ladders below price those grades for natural princesses between 0.90 and 1.10 carats. Holding clarity at VS2, a D color stone starts at $1,330, G at $1,095, H at $980 and I at $870. With color held at G to H, VS1 starts at $1,055, VS2 at $980 and SI1 at $875. Those steps decide the budget on a natural princess ring. Most buyers land on G to H color with VS2 to SI1 clarity, checked on the video so no dark inclusion sits where the setting will not cover it, and they allow for the metal, since yellow and rose gold warm the stone.

Starting prices for natural princesses of 0.90 to 1.10 ct: by color with clarity fixed at VS2 (1,019 stones), and by clarity with color fixed at G to H (1,505 stones)

A Lab Grown Princess in the Same Ring

Lab grown princesses are cut to the same square brilliant pattern, so in the same ring the outline and sparkle carry over and the budget is what changes. At one carat, a G color VS1 princess begins at $475 as a lab stone and $1,255 natural, and the medians for that band are $697 and $1,706. A lab stone gets you more size or grade for the money, the natural stone is the scarcer material, and 27,528 of the 28,922 natural princesses here come with GIA reports. The same designs with lab centers are priced on the princess lab grown diamond engagement rings page.

Settings That Guard the Corners

The sharp corners that give a princess its square outline are also its thinnest points, and a chipped corner is the repair we see most on this shape. On a princess cut engagement ring, V prongs over all four corners should be treated as a requirement. The classic look is a basket of four prongs sitting on the corners; a bezel protects best, and a channel set band of small princess cuts repeats the center's geometry. Add a halo only if it is square, because a round halo around a square stone fights the outline.

At one carat a natural princess runs about 5.5 mm on a side, and that is roughly the stone each design on this page is pictured with, in 14K white gold. Every design comes as well in yellow gold, rose gold or platinum, with the stone you choose shown in place. Our gemologists earn no commission, and if you reach them by chat or phone they will go through two or three finalists for a princess cut diamond engagement ring with you on video. Two scores sit on each stone. The AI price score sets it against similar natural princesses in stock and flags any stone priced higher than its peers, and the quality score out of 18 weighs cut, color and clarity together.

Princess Natural Diamond Engagement Ring Prices, Stone Included

The grid prices every design as a finished ring around one default center, today a 1 carat natural princess in 14K white gold. The figures below are therefore the price of a complete princess cut diamond engagement ring with that stone and not of an empty setting. Among the first designs shown the Linda comfort fit solitaire is the lowest at $2,760 and the Bellora hidden halo the highest at $3,540. The setting accounts for the whole gap, since a plain comfort fit band costs the least and a pavé band or hidden halo the most. Pick a different natural princess from the 28,922 in stock and every princess natural diamond engagement ring here is repriced around that stone.

The color and clarity ladders stay inside the 0.90 to 1.10 carat band so that the price difference comes from grade and not from weight.
