Loose Diamonds | Radiant Cut

Radiant cut diamonds are abundant in brilliance. The radiant cut emerged in the 1970’s, making it a relatively new diamond cut. It’s creator, Henry Grossbard, combined the sparkling elements of a round brilliant with features of an emerald diamond. With 70 facets, a radiant cut diamond has spectacular light performance and an impressive sparkle.

While radiant cut diamonds are a way off the popularity of a round brilliant, they come very close to matching the fire, brilliance and scintillation of the world’s most popular cut. Radiant diamonds also give a bigger face up appearance than other cut of the same carat weight, meaning you can get a sparkling diamond with real impact, for a lower price.

For the best advice when buying a loose diamond, take a look at our Complete Diamond Buying Guide.

GIA Certified Radiant Cut Diamonds

A GIA diamond report will tell you the cut, color, clarity and carat weight of your radiant cut diamond. It also provides a polish and symmetry grade. The GIA does not give a cut grade for fancy cuts as, unlike the round brilliant, there are a rang of proportions than can create a fantastic looking diamond.

The GIA provides consistent and unbiased diamond reports that are essential to diamond buyers. As a guideline, a table of 61-69% and a depth of 61-67% is considered the best for radiant cut diamonds.

Radiant Cut Diamond FAQ's

💎Do radiant cut diamonds look bigger?

Yes! A well-cut radiant diamond will have a bigger face up appearance than a round brilliant diamond and step cut diamonds. Their elongated shape, facet patterning and brilliance all create the ‘illusion’ of a larger diamond.

💎Are radiant cut diamonds expensive?

If you’ve done a little research, you will notice that radiant cut diamonds are considerably cheaper than other diamond cuts. In fact, the savings can be significant. The shape and cutting process of a radiant diamond means that much of the original rough can be retained – this, combined with the fact that radiant diamonds are a comparatively new cut mean that prices are considerably lower.

💎Do radiant cut diamonds have a cut grade?

As mentioned above, the GIA does not issue a cut grade for radiant cut diamonds. They feature a non-standardized facet patterning which means there are a wider range of proportions that can still result in a beautiful diamond. If in doubt, speak to one of our friendly team who can help you find a beautiful radiant diamond.
