No: a square earring face does not prove that it contains a princess-cut stone. Princess cut describes a gemstone's cut; square can describe the overall setting. Several small stones can form a square face without being one square center stone. Read the stated cut and inspect the individual stones separately from the outline.

A cut name and an outline answer different questions
In its princess-cut diamond explanation, GIA distinguishes square modified brilliant faceting from square step-cut arrangements such as Asscher. This is diamond-cut terminology, not a grading report for a Miles moissanite product. It shows why an outline alone cannot identify faceting.
Look at the front photograph in two stages. First locate each stone's edge. Then locate the outside of the metal setting. If several stones create the main face, the earring's square outline belongs to an arrangement, not necessarily to one princess-cut gem. Do not estimate stone count or dimensions from a small illuminated crop.
Compare two current Miles descriptions
The princess-cut moissanite studs describe a square-cut moissanite design. The separate pavé moissanite square studs describe a square face with pavé-set stones. These names identify different features. A multi-stone face should not be relabeled a single princess-cut center because both earrings look square from a distance.
Both current material fields identify 925 Sterling Silver and Moissanite. The princess pair lists Rhodium Plated; the pavé pair maps Silver to Rhodium Plated and Gold to Gold Plated. Keep each pair's own finish and backing disclosures with that product. The cut or square silhouette does not establish those properties.
A sourced example of two labels together
Vogue India's February 15, 2020 feature describes Anushka Sharma wearing princess-cut drop solitaire earrings. Princess cut and drop coexist in that description: one concerns the gem, the other the earring style. It supplies no construction or material claim for Miles.
An illustrative birthday choice
Imagine choosing square earrings for a friend's birthday because they like clean geometric shapes. Compare the front and side photographs of a single-stone design and a pavé face, then ask which texture they would enjoy. Confirm the selected pair's backing and material disclosures separately. A shared square outline is a starting point for taste, not proof that the two pairs contain the same cut, stone arrangement or finish.
A short comparison checklist
- Identify whether the listing names one stone cut or the whole earring face.
- Look for clearly separated stone edges and the surrounding setting.
- Keep stone material separate from the named cut.
- Check the selected pair's actual finish and backing.
- Ask for a detail photograph if the layout is unclear.
Use the existing princess-cut size and backing guide for that pair's choices. For layout vocabulary, read halo versus cluster settings. Browse moissanite stud designs to compare the complete descriptions.
Frequently asked questions
Can a square setting contain several stones?
Yes. The overall outline and individual gemstone shapes are separate features.
Does princess cut mean diamond?
No. A cut name does not identify gemstone material. Read the separate stone disclosure; the cited GIA diamond explanation does not certify another material.
