If your significant other is a one-of-a-kind woman, a radiant cut engagement ring is a perfect choice for her. Radiant cut diamonds are non-traditional stones that are square or rectangular with beveled corners and produce more sparkle than any other square or rectangular shape diamond due to an astonishing 70 facets.
Choosing a radiant cut diamond shape for your engagement ring will really make a statement. While an emerald cut or Asscher cut gives a hall of mirrors effect because of their step cut, a radiant cut diamond gives a softer appearance to your center diamond while still giving an interesting true square shape. Radiant cut engagement rings look fantastic as solitaires or any interesting arrangements such as toi et moi engagement rings.
A radiant cut engagement ring is a perfect choice for a trendsetter who appreciates the sparkle of a round-cut diamond but wants the striking appearance of an angled shape. Many people also love radiant-cut diamonds because of their ability to appear bigger than other diamonds of the same weight. This is because of the way in which they were designed to maximize weight within a setting.
Within our comprehensive collection of radiant cut engagement rings lies the stone and ring combination that will take your loved one’s breath away.

When it comes to radiant cut engagement rings, your first decision will be whether to purchase a more square stone or a rectangular shape stone. Radiant cut diamonds can be cut in a rectangular shape like an emerald cut or a true square if you would prefer that for your diamond.
While both will look beautiful on your loved one’s hand, keep in mind that a more rectangular stone will add length to her fingers, while a more square stone can evoke a bolder style.
When choosing your radiant-cut engagement ring, you will have a few decisions to make beyond which specific diamond you would like. Here is a simple ring guide to help you make those decisions as you browse for a radiant-cut diamond ring.
More for Less — Radiant cut diamonds tend to give the appearance of a larger stone. In other words, even if you purchase a smaller carat size, a radiant-cut diamond will look larger than a larger-carat rock of a different cut, like a round-cut diamond. With a halo setting surrounding the stone, her engagement ring will seem larger than life. The center diamond will truly sparkle and be the star of the show in your radiant cut diamond ring.
A Wide Selection — One of the many benefits of purchasing a radiant-cut diamond is that it is a very forgiving cut. Inclusions, blemishes, and color tints are not magnified but hidden. Because of this, when you decide to buy a radiant engagement ring, you will have a much wider choice of diamonds that work well within your budget.
Versatility Galore — Like other rectangular and square-cut diamonds, the radiant cut is quite versatile. It can shine alone in a solitaire or make a stunning picture in an intricate vintage setting. Whatever your loved one’s style, a radiant-cut diamond set in a unique band will match her personality. They also look stunning with any sort of metal setting, while gold to platinum, rose gold or yellow gold for a warmer look.
The radiant-cut diamond shape has only been in the industry for a little over forty years (not a very long time, by gemstone standards), but it has certainly made an impression. Designed by Henry Grossbrand, the first radiant-cut diamond took square and step-cut diamonds to a new level.
While these cuts used to appear less brilliant than shapes like round-cut diamonds, that all changed with Grossbrand’s creative innovation. He invented a unique, hybrid cutting style that was able to form a step-cut diamond with the same brilliance as a triangular-faceted diamond like the oval or pear cuts.
With stunning, clean lines and sparkle galore, the radiant cut quickly became popular, and radiant engagement rings are a favorite of women who aren’t afraid of standing apart from the crowd.
Some of the most famous engagement rings in recent history have contained radiant cut diamonds. Here are just a few examples of celebrities who have opted for this bold style.
Jennifer Lopez — Although Bennifer wasn’t a match that would last, Ben Affleck’s gift to Jennifer Lopez was a ring to remember. The pink, radiant-cut diamond was rumored to be worth $2.5 million and was returned when the relationship ended.
Megan Fox — After losing her first engagement ring in the Hawaiian sand during the proposal, Megan received a second version from her husband Brian Austin Green. The three-carat radiant-cut diamond is set in a platinum diamond halo that matches her diamond eternity band.
Drew Barrymore — Drew Barrymore received a four-carat radiant cut engagement ring from Will Kopelman, though now the two are divorced. The stunner rested in a French-set band, adding some art deco appeal to complete the unique look.
Khloe Kardashian — Though the two are no longer a couple, Lamar Odom’s engagement ring for Khloe featured a stunning 12.5-carat radiant-cut diamond. The ring was later upgraded further with an impressive triple-row pavé diamond halo.
Kelly Clarkson — A gift from husband Brandon Blackstock, Kelly’s ring is unique, to say the least. The five-carat, radiant-cut canary diamond engagement ring is surrounded by a french-set white diamond halo, for a stunning piece of jewelry that is truly one of a kind.
