About Radiant Cut Engagement Rings

Radiant cut engagement rings feature a rectangular or square diamond with brilliant-style facets that deliver exceptional sparkle. Created in the late 1970s, this cut was designed to combine the clean shape of an emerald cut with the brilliance of a round diamond. Its trimmed corners add strength, making it well-suited for everyday wear.
This shape suits confident, modern personalities who appreciate bold sparkle without sacrificing elegance. Radiant cut diamond engagement rings have also been chosen by celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and Khloé Kardashian, reinforcing their glamorous and contemporary appeal.
