Radiant Cut Diamond

Radiants are very similar to princess cut diamonds in most respects. They are both brilliant cut meaning their faceting and ability to reflect light is very similar. Both the radiant and princess cut face up well and reflect light almost as well a round brilliant. The one important difference is that a radiant has an extra four sides, so it sits and sets up slightly different than a princess cut. Still, both shapes are most rectangular.
