Features

The Radiant Cut is a unique and fusion cut comprised of usually seventy facets together with specific trimmed edges. Square-shaped Radiant cuts typically have ratios around 1.00 – 1.05 whereas rectangular Radiants may have ratios from over 1.05 up to 1.50. Its versatile configuration incorporates both the brilliance and depth of a round brilliant , an Emerald and a Princess cut making it one of the best options for all kinds of jewelry.

Radiant Cut 1

Because of its extra facets, the Radiant cut can distribute more light through the stone making it one of the most brilliant of all square- and rectangular-shaped stones. It can also hide some inclusions more efficiently than other shapes.
As it is a patented cut, it may be termed as a Cut-Cornered Square on a laboratory certificate (eg. GIA or AGS), or a Rectangular Brilliant if it has a ratio greater than 1.05.
