3 carat princess cut diamonds: what to expect
A 3 carat diamond is a true statement stone, noticeably larger than most engagement ring diamonds. It looks about 44% wider than a 1 carat stone of the same shape and shows around 108% more surface from above, even though it weighs three times as much.
How big is a 3 carat princess cut diamond?
A 3 carat princess cut diamond typically measures about 8.0 x 7.8 mm, based on the stones in our stock today. A round diamond of the same weight measures about 9.2 mm across, so the princess cut looks a similar size on the hand. Carat measures weight, not size, so cut and proportions affect how big a stone looks.
Choosing a 3 carat princess cut diamond
Choose a ratio of 1.00 to 1.05 for a square look, and a setting with V-shaped claws to protect the corners. At three carats colour and clarity are easy to see, so we suggest F or G colour and VS2 or better clarity, with VS1 or better for step cuts.
3 carat princess cut diamond prices
Prices rise steeply with weight at this size, so comparing stones across the band, and between natural and lab grown, makes a real difference.
Natural or lab grown?
A natural diamond is formed over billions of years and each one is rare; many buyers value that origin. A lab grown diamond of the same grades costs far less. Today the lowest priced 3 carat princess cut diamond in our stock is £10,681 natural, against £590 lab grown. Compare 3 carat princess cut lab grown diamonds.
Other sizes
Compare princess cut natural diamonds at 1 carat, 1.5 carat, 2 carat or 5 carat.
Setting your diamond
Every diamond here can be set in an engagement ring, pendant or earrings made to order in our Bourton-on-the-Water workshop, hallmarked in the UK. Browse engagement rings or design your own. If the stone you want is not listed, our team can source it for you.
