Radiant Cut
- The Radiant Cut is a square cut, very similar to the popular Princess Cut. However, there is a subtle difference between the two that gives the Radiant Cut diamond some unique properties.
- The Radiant Cut diamond, true to its name, radiates light in a lot more directions as compared to the Princess Cut. The reason behind this feature is that the Radiant Cut diamond has a rounded face and rounded corners.
- A gentleman named Henry Grossbard perfected the Radiant Cut in 1977. He wanted to combine the sparkle and highly reflective nature or the Round Brilliant Cut with the step pattern of the Emerald Cut.
- By doing this, he wanted to give the Radiant Cut the unique advantage of retaining most of the carat weight of the original rough, while radiating almost the same brilliance as that of a Round Brilliant Cut.
- The length to width ratio of the Radiant Cut diamonds range from 1.5:1 to 1.75:1
- The number of facets can be anywhere from 58 to 70, with about 25 of those facets lying above the girdle and around 36 facets below the girdle.
- Radiant Cut diamonds have also become very popular with celebrities in recent times. Some of the celebrities that have Radiant Cut diamond engagement rings are Khloe Kardashian, Hilary Duff and Brooke Mueller.
