    I agree John, particularly in channel set diamond eternity rings. I
    love round brilliant and they look nice in eternity rings if prong
    set, but imho they don't look nice in channel set eternity rings
    because they leave ugly gaps, but the princess cut works very well.
    I like the channel set look and think (personally) that it's a good
    contemporary look for all types of jewellery: rings, earrings,
    pendants and bracelets and for me the princess and the baguette both
    look particularly stunning in such a situation. 

    Talking of engagement rings though, surely the only way a princess
    cut diamond would make a finger look fatter than it is, would be if
    the princess cut stone was so big that it took up the entire width of
    the finger? Otherwise, in "normal" sizes of between 0.5ct to 1.5ct,
    they have an elegant look. 

    But hey we're all different and our opinions are just that.
