This
is a modified or combination cut - a brilliant cut square or rectangle
shaped diamond with clipped-off corners like the emerald
cut. It melds the elegance of the emerald cut diamond with
the brilliance and sparkle of the round
diamond.
This square or rectangular cut combines
the elegance of the emerald shape diamond with the brilliance
of the round, and its 70 facets maximize the effect of its color
refraction. Because of its design, this cut requires more weight
to be directed toward the diamond's depth in order to maximize
brilliance. Depth percentages
of 70% to 78% are not uncommon.
Length
to width ratio: A radiant cut with a length to width ratio of
less than or equal to 1.05:1 will appear square to the observer.
While a squarer radiant-cut diamond is the preference of many,
some people prefer a slightly rectangular diamond.
