When it comes to fiery flash, few gems compare to the stunning radiant cut diamond. A hybrid of the emerald cut’s clean lines and the brilliant cut’s megawatt shine, the radiant cut has been coveted this season by fashion icons who want their diamond rings to have a chic modern shape and brilliant flash. Drew Barrymore, recently engaged to art consultant Will Kopelman, couldn’t have chosen a more gorgeous engagement ring for her third trip down the aisle. The diamond engagement ring strikes the perfect balance between traditional and modern design: the ring’s classic, delicate pave band is a timeless flash from the past, and its stunning 4 carat radiant cut white diamond is a bold, 21 st Century statement. Drew Barrymore’s engagement ring shows the rectangular radiant cut at its brilliant best. How does the radiant cut get its shine? From its expertly cut, gorgeous 60-70 facets. A radiant cut gem features the step-cutting of the emerald cut diamond (which gives it its long facets) and the triangular facets of the brilliant cut. The multifaceted look of the radiant cut makes it look a bit like a princess cut , but with the addition of blocked corners. Whether you opt for a rectangular, square modified or cut-cornered radiant cut diamond (also called the cut-cornered square modified brilliant cut), this diamond cut is gorgeous on a ring flanked by side stones such as baguettes. Because it lets the depth and color of a gem shine, the radiant cut is also a popular cut for colored diamonds .
