1 Carat Princess Cut Diamond Ring Canada: Complete 2026 Buying Guide

The princess cut diamond ring is one of Canada's most-searched engagement ring styles in 2026. A 1 carat princess cut diamond ring delivers a bold, modern square silhouette with exceptional brilliance, available at Anvaya in certified lab-grown settings from $899 CAD with free insured shipping across Canada.

What Is a Princess Cut Diamond Ring?

A princess cut is a square brilliant cut diamond with pointed corners — technically a modified square brilliant cut. It's the second most popular diamond shape in Canada after round brilliant, prized for its modern geometry and exceptional light performance. Princess cuts have 58–76 facets arranged to maximise sparkle in a compact, square footprint.

1 Carat Princess Cut Diamond Ring: Canada's Most Popular Size

Among all princess cut ring searches in Canada, the 1 carat princess cut diamond ring is the most sought-after size. Here's why Canadian shoppers choose 1ct:

• A 1ct princess cut diamond measures approximately 5.5mm x 5.5mm — clearly visible and impactful on the finger
• At Anvaya, a 1 carat princess cut lab-grown diamond engagement ring starts from $899 CAD — versus $4,000–$8,000+ for a mined equivalent
• 1ct is the traditional milestone carat weight for engagement rings in Canada
• The square shape makes 1ct princess cut rings appear larger than a 1ct round brilliant (same carat, more surface area visible from above)

Princess Cut Diamond Ring Settings Available in Canada

Solitaire 1 Carat Princess Cut Engagement Ring

Is a Lab-Grown Princess Cut Diamond Real?

Yes. A lab-grown princess cut diamond is a genuine diamond — chemically pure carbon, identical crystal structure, hardness (10 Mohs), and optical brilliance as a mined princess cut. Lab-grown diamonds are created above ground in certified facilities using CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition) technology. All Anvaya princess cut diamonds are independently certified with diamond grading documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions: Princess Cut Diamond Ring Canada

How much is a 1 carat princess cut diamond ring in Canada?

At Anvaya, a 1 carat princess cut lab-grown diamond engagement ring in 14K gold starts from $899 CAD. Mined 1ct princess cut rings in Canada typically cost $4,000–$8,000+ CAD. Lab-grown diamonds deliver identical quality at 50–70% less cost.

Is a 1 carat princess cut ring good for everyday wear?

Princess cuts have pointed corners that can chip if knocked hard. For everyday Canadian wear, we recommend a four-prong setting (which protects all four corners) or a bezel setting (which fully encases the edge in metal). Both are available at Anvaya.

What ring size is most common in Canada?

The most common women's ring size in Canada is size 6 or 7 (US sizing). Anvaya offers ring sizes 4–10 with complimentary resizing within 60 days of purchase for all Canadian orders.

Does Anvaya ship 1 carat princess cut rings to all Canadian provinces?

Yes. Free insured shipping on all orders to Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, Newfoundland, and all northern territories. Standard delivery is 3–7 business days.

Is the princess cut still popular in Canada in 2026?

Yes. While oval cuts have surged to #2 in Canada in 2026, the princess cut remains firmly in Canada's top 3 diamond shapes — especially for engagement rings. The angular, modern look of the princess cut appeals to Canadian shoppers who want something distinct from the traditional round brilliant.
