The word radiant itself brings to mind the sun. It exudes brilliance and light, and that is exactly why this cut of diamond is called that. It is a unique looking cut that is very versatile because it is a combination of round brilliant, emerald, and princess cuts, making it appropriate for any style of jewelry. The radiant has the same outline shape as the emerald cut, with its trimmed corners, but is a brilliant cut, versus the emeralds step cut, so it creates the sparkle and fire of a round instead of large flashes.
The Radiant cut has 70 facets, compared to the round brilliant with 58 facets, so often times, a well cut stone can have immense light return. It is also a great cut because all of those extra facets hide inclusions better, making clarity range easier to work with. For those looking for a well-rounded combination of size, clarity, versatility, and uniqueness Radiant is the perfect cut!
