Read summary
What makes radiant cut diamonds so special among square-cut gems?
Radiant cut diamonds offer the perfect blend of brilliance and elegance. Created in 1977 by Henry Grossbard, this modern design features 70 facets that capture light exceptionally well, combining the sparkle of round brilliants with the sophistication of emerald cuts. Unlike princess cuts (which have only 58 facets) or cushion cuts (which emphasize color over sparkle), radiant cut diamonds deliver superior brilliance while their gently rounded corners provide better durability.
This unique cut has attracted celebrities like Drew Barrymore and Meghan Fox, who've chosen radiant cut diamond engagement rings for their timeless appeal. At BAUNAT, customers can find handcrafted jewelry featuring natural radiant cut diamonds sourced from Antwerp, including bespoke pieces crafted to showcase this extraordinary diamond's unmistakable sparkle.

Distinguishing the Radiant Cut Diamond
The radiant cut diamond is essentially a rectangular design interposed with seventy facets, a convergence of the round brilliant's brilliance with the emerald cut's elegance. Its gently rounded corners offer resilience, elevating the diamond's durability, wearability, and lifespan.
Tracing the Origins of the Radiant Cut
Henry Grossbard from The Radiant Cut Diamond Company envisioned and realised the radiant cut diamond in 1977. Transforming old cuts into this new dynamic design, Grossbard revolutionised the diamond industry. Earlier rectangular cuts were often dull and unimpressive in light reflection, but the radiant cut diamond now resonates with the brilliance of the most magnificent and luxurious diamond cut, the brilliant.
Assessing the Radiant Cut against the Cushion Cut
People often confuse the radiant cut with the cushion cut, owing to their square base. But a closer inspection reveals the cushion cut's more rounded structure, focusing more on the diamond’s colour and less on its sparkle.
The Battle of Brilliance: Radiant Cut vs. Princess Cut
The princess cut often stands as a comparison to the radiant cut diamond. Nevertheless, with only 58 facets, the princess cut lacks the sparkle provided by the radiant cut diamond, and its sharper corners make the stone more prone to damage.
