Radiant cut diamonds were first developed and
patented by Henry. The radiant cut diamond was the first diamond to combine the
elegance of the emerald shape and the fire and brilliance of a round diamond.
When the patent on the radiant cut diamond expired the radiant cut became a
fully accepted diamond shape and began to be widely distributed by both
wholesalers and manufacturers.
Much like circular shaped diamonds, radiant
cut diamonds allow you to see the deep, natural clarity of the diamond. When
you look at a radiant diamond from the front you can clearly distinguish the
diagonal cross pattern that is created between the sides of the diamond. It is
this stunning cross pattern that helps to make radiant cut diamonds more
beautiful than many other types of diamond and makes it the ideal diamond to
choose for the centrepiece of a diamond ring.
Rings that have been set with radiant cut
diamonds are some of the most desirable rings as they have such unique style
and shape and can also have very unusual colours. This kind of diamond set ring
are also available in a number of unique shapes so you do not have to stick
with what could be considered a boring round or rectangular shape.
Radiant cut diamonds
are also very popular in engagement rings and the tradition of using radiant
cut diamonds for engagement rings dates back to the fourteenth century. The
diamond is usually the centrepiece of the ring but you can also attach side
stones in a number of different ways. If you decide to purchase your diamond
ring online you should always check the length and width of the diamond as
there are no rules for these measurements. Generally there are two routes you
can take when purchasing a ring with a radiant cut diamond, quality or budget.
