The Best Settings for a Radiant Cut Diamond Ring

What is a Radiant Cut Diamond?

There are two types of facets that cutters can use when cutting diamonds: brilliant cuts and step cuts. Triangular and kite-shaped facets are used in sparkling brilliant cuts while step cut diamonds have long, straight facets that allow you to see deep into the diamond. First introduced in the 1970's, the radiant cut combines elements of both.

This ground-breaking design features a straight-edged rectangular outline that utilizes a dizzying display of brilliant-cut facets on both its' crown and pavilion.
