Radiant cut engagement rings feature a diamond cut similar to a princess diamond, but in a rectangular shape, rather than square, and featuring trimmed corners. Comparing diamond shapes, you'll notice that the eye is most naturally drawn to the sharp corners of a princess cut, while with a radiant cut, your eye is drawn more to the center of the diamond. The emerald cut diamond (also with trimmmed corners) emphasizes most strongly its large center face, highlighting the diamond’s clarity, but the radiant cut is often found to be the most visually balanced shape.

Picking out a radiant cut engagement ring can prove to be a challenging undertaking. The first decision to be made is whether or not you want a more rectangular or a more square-shaped center diamond, because this will affect the characteristics determining the stone's visual quality. Radiant diamonds are cut such that they show many facets, and the most significant factor in their aesthetic appeal is that of contrast, where light reflection is distributed so that different facets appear darker or lighter as the stone is viewed from different angles. To learn more, see our diamond shape reference.

Radiant diamond engagement rings are very versatile. The diamond shape's trimmed corners make them especially adaptable for use with sidestones, since either more rounded or more rectangular side diamonds can both serve as excellent accompaniment to a radiant cut diamond.

Our radiant cut diamond engagement rings represent the best selection and meet the highest standards of quality available. Choosing a diamond can be a complicated task.
