What Is A Radiant Cut Diamond?
A radiant cut diamond is a rectangular or square-shaped gemstone with a complete brilliant-cut facet pattern on the crown and pavilion. The cut creates a luminous and dazzling square center stone that lengthens the finger for a perfect look. Radiant cut's corners are chamfered, meaning they are less likely to chip when compared to sharp or "pointy" edges. Henry Grossbard developed the first radiant cut diamond in 1977, but the shape gained popularity in the 1980s. It combines both the emerald "step-cut" and the round "brilliant cut" to present one of the most vibrant sparkles on a rectangular or square jewel.Special Features Of Radiant Cut Diamonds
- Brilliant shape: The radiant cut diamond has a square or rectangular shape with 70 brilliant-cut facets to fit your style. The diamond also offers a fine bridge between a cushion and a princess cut, producing a rounded or square cornered center stone.
- Dazzling appearance: Of all diamond shapes, the radiant cut is one of the stones with brilliant cuts that sparkle more, similar to round cuts. The stone also appears larger than a rounded-shaped gemstone due to the corner-to-corner length feature.
- Unique design: A radiant cut diamond comes with dynamic modern elegance, and a touch of a classic vintage look to produce a special engagement ring for your bride-to-be.
