What Are Radiant Cut Diamonds?
Author: 
Kathy White
Preferences for diamond shapes are unique to each individual. The "ideal" diamond shape is typically found at the crossroads of aesthetic inclination and gut instinct. The radiant cut is a stunning choice for your engagement ring or wedding band diamonds if you are drawn to brilliant, sparkling diamonds in square or elongated shapes. Let's delve into the radiant cut in depth.

Characteristics Of Radiant Cut Diamonds

One of the most spectacular diamond shapes available for purchase is the radiant cut. 70 precise facet cuts allow for plenty of light reflection, providing a brilliant, glittering effect that draws the eye all the time.

The radiant cut is a relatively modern diamond form, created by Henry Grossbard in the late 1970s. He devised a cutting technique that blended the greatest features of emerald and round diamond forms, resulting in dazzling diamonds that sparkle and burn like never before.

Other Popular Diamond Cuts

  • Round brilliant-cut diamonds
  • Princess-cut diamonds
  • Marquise-cut diamonds
  • Cushion-cut diamonds
  • Emerald-cut diamonds
  • Oval diamonds

Pros Of Radiant Cut Diamonds

The following are the advantages of radiant cut diamonds: 

  • Larger in size: The radiant cut is noted for seeming larger than most other diamonds of the same carat weight, giving it a stronger presence on your fiancé's ring finger.The radiant cut provides a lovely modern design that works well in a variety of settings and styles.
  • Excellent sparkle and brilliance: Because of the great number of facets and the quality of the cut, radiant cuts have a lot of sparkles. They're cut and polished in such a way that light is redirected back to your eyes from within the diamond.
  • Durable: The radiant cut is more durable compared to the princess cut. They are less likely to chip because of their beveled corners. Thus, choosing a radiant cut diamond for your engagement ring is a wonderful choice for an active fiancé.
  • Great value for money: The radiant diamond's cutting method utilizes a considerable portion of the original raw diamond, with very little waste. As a result, a loose radiant diamond will be less expensive per carat than most other diamond cuts. The radiant cut diamond is, in reality, one of the most cost-effective diamond shapes.

The brilliance and longevity of a Radiant Cut Diamond are unmatched. When it comes to cut quality, we recommend seeking the help of a professional to ensure you get an exceptional diamond at a reasonable price.Contact us today, to get your custom jewelry.
