Radiant Engagement Rings
A radiant cut has the clean, cut-corner outline of an emerald, but its facets are brilliant cut rather than stepped. The result is a rectangle or square full of lively, crushed-ice sparkle, a shape that blends the structure of a step cut with the fire of a round.
Choosing Your Radiant
Radiants come in two main outlines. A length-to-width ratio near 1.00 to 1.05 looks square, while 1.20 to 1.40 gives a longer rectangle that elongates the finger. Because the faceting scatters light, small inclusions and slight color are harder to see than in an emerald cut, so you can often focus more on size. The trimmed corners also make the stone less likely to chip than a shape with sharp points, which suits busy hands.
Which settings pair well with a radiant?
Radiant engagement rings look striking with a hidden halo, which tucks a line of diamonds just beneath the center stone, or with pave running down the band. A rectangular radiant between two side stones also makes a bold three-stone design.
