The Original Radiant Cut combines the elegant shape of the emerald cut with the brilliance of the round stone.  Henry Grossbard created the first Original Radiant Cut in 1977, enabling people to choose the stylish square or rectangular shape without compromising on brilliance.

The Emerald Diamond: A Step Cut

Before Mr. Grossbard conceived of the Radiant Cut, all diamonds with straight edges, like the emerald cut, were faceted with long rectangular facets. This cutting style, called the "step cut" results in a diamond with a glassy appearance. Diamonds with rounded edges, like round diamonds, pear shapes, ovals, and marquises, are faceted with triangular facets. By creating a technique to combine these two cutting styles, Mr. Grossbard was able to release the natural brilliance of a straight edged diamond.
