2.01 Carat H-VS2 Premium cut Radiant cut Diamond magnified

H color is usually a bit higher than I normally go in my recommendations, as in the H range you can usually start to see the yellowish tinge, if not more, in the Radiant diamond it has more “room for error” because of the way it is cut. The diamond is a beautiful stone, and even though it is H it looks great and I don’t see any serious yellow. The H just saves you some more money without compromising anything in quality.

Oct. 3: The Radiat cut diamond is an interesting cut. I like to think of the Radiant cut as a hybrid diamond of sorts. Not because it is made up of a combination of materials or anything like that, however it is cut in a way that combines the brilliance of the Round cut, and the beauty of the Emerald or Asscher cut.

The square shaped diamonds do not enjoy the brilliance of the Round cut, and they are generally less forgiving on flaws and weaknesses. However, the squarer shapes are generally considered more elegant and of greater beauty.

The Radiant cut is cut in a way that maximizes the brillliance of the diamond, more similar to that of the Round cut, while having the beauty of an Emerald cut with the cropped corners and the square/rectangular shape. Yet, despite the similarity to the Emerald and Asscher, the Radiant’s facets are not long and trim, which generally expose the flaws more, but are faceted and display a fiery display.

This means that you are getting the brilliance and fire of a Round diamond, while achieving the beauty and elegance of an Emerald/Asscher cut Diamond.

So, today’s diamond will be a Radiant cut diamond.

The diamond is a 0.97 carat diamond, with G color and VS2 clarity. the diamond is a Premium cut Radiant diamond, and it sells for $3,090.

Like any square shaped diamond, the preferred ratio is really dependant upon persoanl taste. Some prefer a more square look and some prefer a more rectangular look.
