Radiant Cut Engagement Rings: Brilliant Styles & Prices

Short answer: A radiant cut has the clean rectangular or square outline of an emerald cut with the lively sparkle of a brilliant cut. Its clipped corners make it durable, and it hides small inclusions well. Choose a ratio of about 1.00–1.05 for a square look or 1.25–1.35 for a classic rectangle.

Why Choose a Radiant Cut

Radiant cuts use brilliant-style facets inside a step-cut outline, so they sparkle more than emerald or Asscher cuts. The cut corners protect the stone from chipping, which makes it practical for daily wear. Its shape pairs well with baguette, marquise or pear side stones.
