If you’ve been looking at engagement rings for some time now, then you will know for sure how difficult it is to choose the perfect engagement ring. There are so many things to consider: the carat size, the clarity, the colour and most importantly, the shape of the diamond.
But don’t worry. Alan Bick has got you covered.
One of the most underrated stones is the radiant diamond shape. While classic shapes like round brilliant, and oval cuts have dominated the market, the radiant cut is a hidden gem that deserves attention. Combining vintage glamour with exceptional brilliance, radiant-cut diamonds offer a unique yet timeless feel.
The radiant diamond is the perfect blend of brilliance and uniqueness, combining the sparkle of a round brilliant cut with the elegant shape of an emerald cut, making it a timeless classic.
What is better, a lab-grown or natural radiant-cut engagement ring?
Both lab-grown and natural radiant diamonds have their advantages. Lab-grown diamonds offer a more affordable option in comparison to natural diamonds, but the natural diamonds are unique and one of a kind, so it depends on your personal preference and your budget.
What’s the best ring design for radiant diamond engagement rings?
Radiant-cut diamonds work beautifully in a variety of ring settings like solitaire, halo or three-stone settings, but of course, the best design depends on your personal taste and preference.
Can you make a radiant-cut engagement ring sit flush with a wedding band?
Absolutely. Alan Bick ensures all our not only suggests the best wedding band to go with each ring but you can also book an appointment for personalised consultation.
Do radiant diamond rings look bigger than other shapes?
Yes, radiant-cut diamonds often appear larger than other diamond shapes of the same carat weight due to their shallow depth and large surface area.
Is a radiant cut engagement ring cheaper than a round engagement ring?
Yes, radiant-cut diamonds are generally more affordable than round brilliant-cut diamonds of the same carat weight and quality.
Does a radiant cut diamond engagement ring sparkle more than an emerald diamond?
Yes! A radiant-cut diamond has more sparkle than an emerald-cut diamond. While emerald cuts have step-cut facets, which create a sleek, mirror-like effect, the radiant cuts have brilliant faceting, which means maximum light is reflected.
