DESCRIPTION ABOUT RADIANT DIAMOND
If you love the fire of the traditional Round Brilliant Cut you just may love the Radiant Cut Diamond. Most square or rectangular cuts just don't live up to the round brilliant for sparkle, but the Radiant Cut was designed for getting maximum brilliance. Like the emerald cut, the radiant cut diamond is often a rectangle (sometimes square) with cropped corners, but that's where the similarities end. Where the emerald cut has long trim lines, the radiant cut is faceted for fire.
Choosing a Radiant Cut Diamond
The width and length are the most important aspect of Radiant Diamondshowever, there are no "rules" for length/width ratios for the radiant diamond and one must review these numbers to determine if the stone is rectangular or closer to square. The radiant diamond is more forgiving of diamond flaws and weaknesses than the less sparkling.
