Most people when searching for an engagement ring are overwhelmed by the number of choices that they have. Prospective buyers not only have band choices that range from white gold, to gold, to platinum, but they also have a tremendous amount of choices for the diamond. Perhaps the most obvious of these choices is the diamond’s shape. Diamond connoisseurs often talk of a diamond’s brilliance, or in more common terms, how well the diamond sparkles in the light. While the most common cut is most certainly the round brilliant cut, if you’re in the market for engagement rings, we’d strongly suggest that you take a look at radiant cut engagement rings.
A radiant cut is often defined as a cut that tends to have a rectangular shape to it but its cropped corners give it a brilliance level more in line with the traditional round brilliant. It was invented in 1977 by Henry Grossband who was trying to create an emerald cut that still retained the sparkling qualities of a round brilliant. The effect that he created is absolutely outstanding to behold. In fact, out of all the types of cuts available, radiant cut engagement rings are certainly at the top of my recommended list.
Radiant cut engagement rings have an effect that feels both very different and the same. The diamond gemstone shines in ways that just aren’t found with traditional diamond cuts, yet at the same time, its shape is nowhere near as distinctive as some of the more fancy cuts. It’s subtle and quite chic. Although in your engagement ring search you may not have thought about the plethora of rings available, we strongly recommend that you at least see a few radiant cut diamonds. Chances are that you’ll find an impressive quality and allure with this style of diamond cut.
now i know what radiant cut is for diamond and I think it’s too expensive..
Our engagement is quite a unique event. When it comes to Jewelry, Engagement Rings, Bridal Jewelry and any other types of jewelry, Diamond and Gold are what we suppose as the ultimate jewelry.
You have some great costumes here. I like your point about this being a period when the human anatomy was studied very closely by the well known artists of the time. They really did create some amazing paintings.
I like the radiant cuts, as well as cushion cut engagement rings. Radiants have a great sparkle, brilliance and are reasonably priced compared with rounds. They are also usually set in unique engagement rings due to their shape.
Really great article. Personally i prefer classically cut diamond jewelery.
Great consumer advice. After the car and home, surely the engagment ring is one of our most important purchases.
