Radiant Cut Diamond

The radiant cut is a hybrid of the round brilliant and emerald cuts, combining the sparkle of a round with the elegant shape of an emerald. It’s a favorite for those who want both brilliance and a unique shape.

The radiant cut was created by master diamond cutter Henry Grossbard in 1977, making it one of the more modern diamond shapes. It was designed to maximize brilliance while maintaining a rectangular or square outline.

Radiant cut diamonds typically have 70 facets, more than many other cuts, which creates a dazzling, fiery look. This extra faceting helps to mask inclusions and makes the diamond appear more brilliant.

Unlike the princess cut, which has sharp corners, the radiant cut has beveled corners, making it less prone to chipping and ideal for those who lead an active lifestyle.

Radiant cut diamonds work beautifully in a variety of settings—whether it's a solitaire, halo, or vintage-inspired design. Its versatility makes it a popular choice for both engagement rings and statement jewelry.
