Are Princess and square cut the same?

The princess cut takes on the shape of a square with its sharp corners and overall ring design. This is why most people refer to the square engagement ring as a princess cut. However, square engagement rings also include different variations of diamond cuts such as the Asscher-cut, cushion-cut, and radiant-cut diamond.
