Radiant cut moissanite rings — designs that combine the rectangular silhouette of a step cut with the intensive faceting of a brilliant cut.
The radiant cut has approximately 70 facets, making it the most brilliant of all rectangular cuts. Unlike the emerald cut's step facets, the radiant cut's brilliant facets scatter light in all directions simultaneously — the same intensity of sparkle as a round brilliant, from a rectangular shape. It delivers both the elongated silhouette of a step cut and the fire of a brilliant in one design.
Moissanite's refractive index of 2.65 versus diamond's 2.42 amplifies the radiant cut's brilliance further. At 3ct, a radiant cut moissanite in a pavé setting returns more fire than an equivalent diamond design at a fraction of the price. The cut conceals inclusions well because the brilliant faceting breaks up the internal view of the stone — though every stone in this collection is VVS1 clarity regardless.
The radiant cut works well in both solitaire and pavé accent settings. The rectangular shape pairs well with baguette or princess cut side stones, and the cut's inherent brilliance ensures the stone holds its own at any carat weight.
D color, VVS1 clarity, lab-created and conflict-free across all radiant designs.
