Diamond cut: Radiant
Experience the mesmerizing allure of radiant-cut diamonds, celebrated for their captivating facets and dazzling radiance. They embody a timeless glamour and refinement that transcends generations.
History
Radiant cut diamonds emerged in the late 1970s, and they were credited to master diamond cutter Henry Grossbard. This innovative cut transformed the landscape of gemstones, marrying classic elegance with modern brilliance. With its unique blend of geometric precision and fiery brilliance, the radiant cut diamond emanates an irresistible sparkle and sophistication, elevating any piece of jewelry it graces. Today, radiant cut diamonds maintain their position as a sought-after choice, adorning engagement rings and exquisite jewelry collections with a timeless yet contemporary appeal that endures through the years.
Color
The radiant-cut diamond does not demand special attention when choosing its color; therefore, the recommendation is the same as that for a round diamond.
Clarity
As a result of its brilliance, inclusions are difficult to spot in a radiant-cut diamond. Because of this, we recommend a clarity grading between SI1 and VS2. For stones of 1.0 carat and above, opt for a higher clarity grading to make sure the diamond is 100% eye-clean.
Cut
The cut is always an essential aspect of guaranteeing a visually appealing stone. GIA does not grade radiant shaped diamonds. Our recommendation is to look for a diamond with a depth of approximately 61-67% and a table of 61-69%.
