Developed in the 1970s, the striking fancy radiant cut marked a breakthrough in diamond-cutting technology. Jewellers classify diamond shapes as either round or fancy (any non-round cut).

This beautiful cut also photographs exceptionally well, as it catches the light from every angle. Radiant diamond engagement rings offer a captivating balance between brilliance and structure. Their sleek lines and dazzling sparkle create a look that’s timeless yet modern.

Discover the alluring features of our radiant diamond engagement rings.
Our radiant-cut engagement rings are set in designs that enhance the diamond’s natural fire and brilliance. Brilliance refers to the white light reflected from the diamond, while fire is the rainbow-coloured light you see when it catches the light.
Halo radiant cut engagement rings create breathtaking brilliance by framing the central gemstone with smaller accent stones. We offer both traditional and hidden halo designs. Hidden halos sit beneath the centre stone for a more subtle, luxurious enhancement.
Our side stone rings feature radiant-cut centre diamonds flanked by accent stones set along the band. The Fernanda Radiant Ring is a popular style in which the band tapers towards the centre stone, creating a floating diamond appearance. Another favourite is our Celine Engagement Ring, featuring an even band that’s pavé-set with side stones.
Solitaire radiant cut rings epitomise understated elegance. This classic style features a single, magnificent diamond in a four-claw setting, showcasing a bold, unique fusion of emerald-cut elegance and round diamond sparkle.
Also known as three-stone rings, trilogy engagement rings feature three radiant-cut gemstones, symbolising your past, present and future together. The symmetrical shape of radiant cuts creates a beautifully balanced and cohesive look when set side by side.
If you’re looking for something one-of-a-kind, we can create a bespoke radiant-cut engagement ring that celebrates your commitment. Choose from setting details like a pavé band, hidden halo or custom claw setting to create a design that’s truly yours.

Radiant and emerald cuts can share a similar silhouette, but the similarity ends there. Each offers a distinctly different kind of beauty through these differences:
| Radiant diamonds | Emerald cuts | |
| Facets | 70 brilliant-style facets | 57 step-cut facets |
| Sparkle | Intense sparkle similar to round brilliant cuts | Geometric hall of mirrors effect |
| Shape | Commonly rectangular, but can also be square | Rectangular |
| Best for | Maximum sparkle in a contemporary shape | Old-Hollywood elegance |
Radiants are a popular choice for their fire and brilliance, while emerald-cut diamonds have a more subtle shine.
Radiant cuts have mixed facets, creating what many people refer to as a “crushed ice” effect. This means you’ll see a mix of bright flashes and softer sparkle across the stone.
Radiant diamonds’ distinctive look comes from the way the facets reflect light internally, creating multiple reflections within the diamond. As a result, the stone produces:
Together, these effects give radiant cuts their depth and unique brilliance, setting them apart from other diamond shapes.
The age-old question of engagement ring budgets doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all answer. You’ve likely heard the “two to three months’ salary” rule, but the truth is more straightforward: Spend what you can afford.
Industry expert David Bercott has 50 years of experience in the jewellery industry and advises couples to focus on what they can comfortably afford.
Luckily, radiant-cut diamonds offer great value. They’re incredibly forgiving when it comes to clarity. Their many facets scatter light beautifully, helping mask inclusions. That means you can choose a lower clarity grade and still enjoy a large diamond that looks flawless to the naked eye.
