The Princess Cut, technically known as "Square Modified Brilliant Cut", is a square version of the Round Brilliant Cut. It may have either 50 facets (21 crown, 4 girdle, 25 pavilion) or 58 facets (21 crown, 4 girdle, 33 pavilion), depending on how the pavilion is cut. This cut is most frequently a square shape where the length to width ratio is 1.05 or less.
According to Harold Newman's "Illustrated Dictionary of Jewellery", the term Princess Cut was previously applied to what is now known as the "Profile Cut" developed by Arpad Nagy of London in 1961. The same name was later used and made popular by Ygal Perlman, Betzalel Ambar, and Israel Itzkowitz in Israel, who in 1979 created the Princess cut (or Square Modified Brilliant) as it is known today.
The Princess Cut was designed for weight retention of octahedral Diamond crystals, helping to create more attractive Diamonds at more reasonable prices.
The princess cut tends to be one of the smallest of the shapes for the same carat weight since the cut is basically an upside-down pyramid with most of the carat weight in the pavilion. Princess cut diamonds with larger total depth percentages are much smaller in length and width than lower depth stones.
Always ensure that the setting for your princess cut diamond protects the four pointed corners -- these are the points most likely to chip (and why most rectangular or square diamond cuts have cropped corners).
Because of its extra facets, the Princess cut can disperse more light through the stone, this serves to hide inclusions more efficiently, making it the most brilliant of all square- and rectangular-shaped stones. It is also a popular cut for wedding bands because the stones can be arranged side by side without any gaps, making it ideal for an eternity band too. Furthermore, due to its sharply squared corners, the Princess is an ideal cut for long fingers.

I have chosen princess cut loose diamond for my solitary ring. The diamond looks absolutely stunning. It is a bit costly but after looking at the final result, I feel it worth every penny.
