Buy Radiant Cut Engagement Rings

Radiant cut engagement rings have become modern masterpieces due to their chic square form and softly trimmed corners. A radiant engagement ring’s square silhouette and sparkling facets render it an unforgettable center stone.

Master diamond cutter Henry Grossbard invented the radiant cut ring in 1977. He aimed to combine the timelessness of a square silhouette with the brilliance and fire of a round cut.

A radiant stone is cut with 70 facets and is available in square and rectangular shapes. In addition, the radiant cut's corners are beveled (rather than sharp), making the diamond more resilient and less likely to crack.

This fancy cut diamond has subsequently become the center stone for many celebrity engagement rings.

Length to Width Ratio

Radiant-cut diamonds have princess-cut facets but are often rectangular in shape, similar to an emerald cut. The trimmed or smooth corners of a radiant-cut diamond set it apart from the competition.

When choosing a radiant ring, look for well-centered cullet, parallel sides, and equal-sized corners. Once you've decided on a square or rectangular shape, make sure the proportions are correct. The optimal ratio for rectangular radiant cut engagement rings is 1.25, but any value between 1.20 and 1.30 will do. A ratio of 1.00-1.03 is recommended for a square-shaped radiant cut.

Brilliance of Radiant Cut Rings

The outline of radiant cut engagement rings is similar to an emerald-cut diamond, but it has much more brilliance. These rings lengthen the finger and cost less than rounds. This means you can find radiant cut engagement rings with 2 carats at better prices than a round brilliant.

Radiant diamonds have a slightly smaller face-up dimension than traditional round diamonds, approximately 4% smaller. The diagonal measurement of a radiant cut, on the other hand, can deceive the eye and make it appear more prominent than a round brilliant of the same carat weight.

Round brilliant diamonds have the most light return and sparkle of any diamond shape. Nonetheless, a radiant cut is one of the most dazzling cuts and will produce a diamond with a lot of radiance.

The difference between the brilliance of a radiant cut and that of a princess cut gemstone is negligible. The primary difference between the two cuts is the facet patterns and the beveled edges or radiant cut gems, while princess cuts are square. Due to the princess’s sharp corners, they are more likely to catch and crack. And, a radiant cut is more resilient than a princess.

Fire of Radiant Cut Rings

While not quite as brilliant as the round brilliant cut, the radiant cut shouldn't be discounted. The radiant cut boasts outstanding brilliance and fire thanks to its 70 facets in the pavilion and crown. The enhanced fire of these gemstones can be seen in settings such as radiant cut halo engagement rings.

If you want a non-round diamond with many sparkles, the radiant cut is a great option.

The fire of radiant cut engagement rings can even come close to that of the cushion cut. Cushion Cuts are well-known for their tremendous fire (colored light reflections).

What Settings Work Well with Radiant Cuts?

The ring's setting has a significant impact on how the ring is viewed. Classic radiant cut solitaire engagement rings allow more light to enter for a brighter fire, making smaller stones look more pronounced than they are. Conversely, additional gems in a Pave setting or radiant halo engagement rings will significantly increase the ring's overall brilliance, which is ideal for this reason.

The radiant cut is a very flexible cut that looks great in small or large carat sizes, solitaire, paired with side stones, or surrounded with a radiant cut halo. It also looks great in a variety of types. Radiant diamonds set around the band will create a mesmerizing and eye-catching effect for couples searching for a diamond engagement or wedding band full of diamonds.

A four-prong setting is ideal for radiant cut engagement rings. This setting will keep the center stone secure and comfortable while also maximizing light access to the gem, enhancing the ring's brilliance and fire qualities.

Bezel settings can be used on radiant cut diamond engagement rings, but this form of closed setting can block some light, reducing the brilliance and fire of the center stone slightly.

Choosing a Band for Radiant Cut Rings

Radiant-cut diamonds, and other fancy shapes, typically have more color than round brilliants. In any engagement ring environment, an H or I color radiant will appear white. J and K color diamonds will also look fantastic. Lower color grade diamonds are ideal for setting in yellow or rose gold. Also, the highest color grades (D-F) will have a slight tint in these settings as the hue of the metal will shine through the gemstone.

A public commitment to a loved one is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make in your life. It represents a solemn commitment to the specific bond that you and your partner share that no one else can replicate. Shop our collection of moissanite jewelry at Gema&Co. We guarantee that when you buy one of our radiant cut engagement rings it will be as unique as your commitment.
