Every sound setting for one covers them: V-prongs at each corner, or a bezel. The shape also sits flush against a straight wedding band, which no rounded outline does, so a princess solitaire and a plain band meet with no gap and no contour band needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"sd__h\"\u003eReading the numbers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA ratio of 1.00 makes this a true square. Princess cuts are often a little rectangular and then look lopsided beside a square band; this one does not. The 63.8% depth is normal for the cut and explains the trade: a princess holds weight below the girdle, so three carats reads smaller face-up than three carats of oval and returns more light for it. The 68% table is open, which suits a D, because there is nothing to mask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"sd__h\"\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sd__qa\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sd__q\"\u003eIs there a visible difference between a 3.02 and a 3.04 carat diamond?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sd__a\"\u003eNo. Three hundredths of a millimeter separates them in width. At this size the decision should be made on color, clarity and how the stone actually looks, not on the second decimal place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sd__qa\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sd__q\"\u003eDoes a princess cut hide inclusions well?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sd__a\"\u003eLess well than a round. The broad table and long facets give an inclusion fewer places to disappear into. VS1 here means nothing is visible without magnification, which is the grade that matters for this shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sd__qa\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sd__q\"\u003eWhat band shape works with a square stone?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sd__a\"\u003eA straight one.
