The Radiant Cut Diamond Shape is basically a combination of the traditional emerald cut shape with a brilliant cut. What you end up with when you combine these two cutting styles, is essentially a "Brilliantized Step Cut" diamond shape. A radiant shaped diamond is a good possible choice for people who are attracted to the classic elegance of the emerald cut diamond, but would like a more brilliant sparkle.
The radiant cut diamond was developed by Henry Grossbard in 1977. This diamond shape has been extremely popular in the past. It has more facets (70) than a princess and has "Cut" corners like the emerald shape.
The depth percentages are generally deeper in this type of diamond shape, due to the way it is designed, in order to achieve the maximum amount of light refraction.
A one carat radiant shaped diamond ring will look appealing in just about any type of one carat diamond ring setting. Classic one carat solitaire diamond rings, or paired with side stones such as trillion cut diamonds, baguettes, or even princess shaped side stones are common. The setting for a radiant cut diamond ring should be set with special prongs to hold the cut corners securely.
The one carat Radiant Cut diamond ring is my personal favorite. It has maximum amounts of brilliance and sparkle, but without the fragile pointed corners of the Princess Cut Diamond. Quite literally unsurpassed in classical diamond beauty.
