The facets of an emerald cut are deeper, reflecting more light and sparkle.This design is crafted to your requirements, which takes approximately 3 - 6 weeks. An Emerald cut is a clean, classic design. Radiant diamonds have more facets than emerald cut stones. If a diamond is cut like an iceberg where the weight is below what's seen from the top, you're paying for weight rather than 'visual value.'

Radiant cut diamonds tend to be less expensive in terms of overall 'visual value' on her finger with respect to the carat size. Why are radiant cut diamonds less expensive? Radiant cut diamonds are often cut to maximize carat weight 'face-up', so they may appear more expensive than other diamonds because they face up larger. The cost of a diamond is determined by its 4Cs - cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. No, radiant cut diamonds are generally less expensive than other popular diamond shapes, such as round, oval, and cushion cuts, but it really depends on how well it's cut. Since even a H/I may still show white, you can save money on the purchase price and get away with this slightly lower color grade. The yellow of the metal will reflect in the diamond in even the most colorless stone. In that case, you can get away with a slightly lower color grade. Suppose you're setting a diamond in a yellow gold engagement ring setting. Their clarity scale is FL (internally flawless) through I3 (visible inclusions). Note that GIA grades diamonds on a color scale of D (colorless) through Z (light color). For a good quality radiant cut diamond on a modest budget, look for a stone with a color range of I and above and a clarity range of SI2 or above. This further contributes to their striking fire and flash.īest Diamond Color & Diamond Clarity GradeĮvaluating color grades and clarity in radiant diamonds can be subjective. Radiant cut diamonds form an extensive pavilion (the underside of the diamond). For the most part, you should look for a diamond with a centered culet (the sharp point at the bottom of the diamond).Īlso, avoid stones that have 'extremely thin' or 'extremely thick' girdle thickness. A radiant cut diamond's total depth ratio (depth divided by diamond width) should be around 57 percent and above, but it depends on how it looks from a visual perspective, not solely percentages. They are generally cut to have an average of 58-70 brilliant facets. The table ratio (width of table facet divided by diamond width) for an excellent radiant cut diamond is around 54 percent and above.
