A
radiant cut diamond combines an emerald cut gemstone’s shape with a
round brilliant diamond’s sparkle.
Radiant diamond tends to lengthen sightline on the
ring finger, creating a rather slimming appearance for elegance.
The main feature of a
round cut diamond is its 45-degree corners as well as the flat table. When set in an
engagement ring, the
radiant cut gemstone may look similar to one that is
cushion cut, with the distinction only noticeable to an appraiser, who uses a magnifying glass for closer examination. In other words, one would have to be a trained eye to tell the difference between a
cushion cut and a
radiant cut diamond.
It is a personal choice to select
radiant cut three stone diamond engagement rings or go for the ones that have a
diamond as the
center stone with two other
gemstones as
accents. However, the latter
design style adds a dramatic
twist to an
engagement ring with a
solitaire setting. Note that the
facets or brilliance of a
radiant cut diamond can help to hide the inclusions in the
gemstone, which only goes to make its
clarity grade rather eye clean.
