Click to Watch
In this video we are going to break down the similarities and differences between these two diamond cuts: Emerald and Radiant. In addition to going over those nuances we will also show you different custom engagement ring designs featuring these center-stones so you can get a feel for how they look in a finished piece.
Both of these shapes have a similar outline with flat edges, cut corners and similar length/width ratios. The major difference that sets these two diamond shapes apart is the faceting pattern and in effect how they sparkle.
Emerald cut diamonds are from the step cut family meaning all the facets run parallel to each other creating a hall of mirrors effect with large flashes of brilliance. For this shape focus on a higher clarity and you can sacrifice a bit on the color grade.
Radiant cuts are from the brilliant cut family which accounts for it having that amazing sparkle that rival a round diamond. A great option for someone who loves that wow factor.
For either shape you want to focus on a having beautifully cut diamond that will maximize the sparkle and face-up dimensions.
