Radiant Cut Diamonds

The radiant cut diamond is a beautiful alternative to the very popular princess cut diamonds. It is considered to be one of those few square cuts that can deliver the fire and brilliance of the brilliant round diamond cut. This combination of the fire and brilliance of the round brilliant cut and in a square shape makes the radiant cut diamond a mixed cut. The classic look, the exceptional sparkle, the angled or trimmed corners are some of the most attractive traits which render the radiant cut diamond its uniqueness.

Thanks to the skilled craftsmanship of Henry Grossbard of Radiant Cut Diamond Company, we today have the radiant cut diamond. It was created by him in the year 1977. The initial square or step-cut edges did not possess the much talked about fire and brilliance of the round brilliant cut. Grossbard changed people’s perception of the square and rectangular shape through his creation of the hybrid style. He is credited for the creation of the first square cut diamond which he endowed with a stunning brilliant-cut facet pattern on the crown and pavilion.

There is a total of 70 facets,which are distributed as 37 on the pavilion, 25 on the crown and 8 on the girdle. The facets are a blend of triangular and non-triangular, the arrangement of which accounts for the maximization of the fire and brilliance of the radiant cut diamond. An ideal square radiant cut is one which has a ratio between 1.00 and 1.05. A rectangular radiant cut of ratio 1.05 to 1.50 on the other hand is considered ideal.
