Princess Cut Engagement Rings Under £4,500

Handcrafted · Hatton Garden, London

The princess cut is a square or near-square brilliant-cut diamond that offers exceptional sparkle in a modern, geometric profile. It retains more rough diamond weight during cutting than a round brilliant, making it a strong value proposition without sacrificing fire or brilliance.

At £4,500, you can choose a 1ct natural diamond engagement ring in most settings, or a 2ct lab-grown diamond for maximum visual impact. This price point offers genuine luxury without compromise.
