A brief search reveals these comparisons from Blue Nile today:
- 2.01 carats, princess cut US$10,484 - US$12,259
- 2.01 carats, round cut, US$11,307 - US$13,309
One way to read this data is to assert that one or the other cut is more expensive.
However, the range of prices is based on other variables, including colour and clarity, which indicates that the cut alone does not determine the price you pay for a diamond.
