Radiant Cut

Radiant cut diamonds are truly a marvel of gemstone cutting. They are renowned for their stunning beauty, with an unmatched level of brilliance and fire that captures the eye of anyone who gazes upon them. Radiant is a rectangular or square-shaped diamond cut with cut corners that give the stone a unique silhouette, making it a popular choice for engagement rings.

This cut is designed to maximize the diamond’s brilliance by combining the best elements of the emerald and round brilliant cuts. Radiant is particularly suited to colored diamonds, as it emphasizes the stone’s color, making it more vibrant and intense. It is also an excellent choice for those who prefer a larger carat size without sacrificing the diamond’s sparkle.

Overall, radiant diamonds are a beautiful and versatile choice for any engagement ring that will continue to capture the hearts of those who admire them for generations to come.

The radiant cut was invented in 1977, renewing popularity for square cut stones. This modified (cut-cornered rectangular) radiant cut diamond commonly contains 70 facets with 25 facets on the crown, 8 on the girdle, and 37 on the pavilion.
