Radiant Cut Diamonds

Shape can vary from square to rectangular so check width and length ratios to determine your preference

The Radiant cut diamond has a combination of the elegance of an Emerald cut diamond and the brilliance of a round diamond. The Radiant cut diamond was created by a craftsman named Henry Grossbard in 1977. It is similar to a Princess cut diamond but is generally rectangular and has blocked corners like that of an Emerald cut diamond.
 
The beauty of a diamond results from the amount of light that enters it and returns to the eye as well as the pattern of light reflection within the diamond. The Radiant cut diamond has 70 facets which maximises its sparkle and magnificence.

Flaws are not so easy to spot in a Radiant cut diamond compared to the Emerald and Asccher cut diamond so quality does not have to be the best giving you a bit more value on price and carat size.

The Radiant cut diamond makes a sensational centre stone for 3-stone rings and must be set in a minimum of a 4 prong setting. Examples of 3-stone settings with the Radiant cut diamond in the centre are side stones like a Trilliant, Baguette or Princess shapes.
