Radiant cut.

Radiant is the brilliant-cut answer to the emerald cut. Same square or rectangular outline with cropped corners, but with the triangular facet pattern of a round brilliant. The result is a stone that sparkles like a round but with the geometric outline of an emerald cut.

Pricing 15-20% below round. Combines the visual punch of brilliant faceting with the modern shape preference.

Length-to-width ratio: 1.00-1.05 for square, 1.20-1.30 for elongated. Both valid; pick the proportion that suits the wearer's hand.

Cropped corners eliminate the chipping risk that princess cuts have. Versatile in modern and vintage settings.
