Radiant

The radiant cut is a beautiful combination of the classic emerald cut and the sparkle of the round brilliant.

The radiant cut is similar to the princess cut but is usually (though not always) a more rectangular outline and has blocked corners like those of an emerald cut.

The cutting is a combination of the step-cutting of the emerald-cut diamond with some triangular faceting of the brilliant cut.

The radiant cut is dramatic as a solitaire but also looks great paired with side stones such as baguettes, trillions, or princess shapes.

A radiant-cut stone should be set with special prongs to hold the blocked corners securely.
