Square Radiant Cut Diamonds engagement rings are the current trend, or fad of popularity for diamonds. Diamonds are very popular, diamonds are always desired by women, and thus the diamond industry is huge and profitable. With any extremely profitable and well marketed business, such as the diamond industry, there are constant attempts to renew the business and, in this case, keep the diamond business new and exciting. With that said, Radiant Cut Diamond is currently nothing but the new and exciting fad.

If you read our article on Diamond cuts, you can read about the most popular diamond cuts. Most of those cuts at some point was the new fad. Pear shaped was the fad for a while, then came the trillian cut diamond, now it is the Radiant cut. The Radiant cut diamond is just another way of slicing the diamond pie. Each diamond cut has a very specific geometric formulas that have been devised to that cut. For instance, the modern brilliant cut (the most widely used cut in the world) was invented in 1919 by Marcel Tolkowsky and calls for 57 or 58 facets, each of which is applied to cover a precise surface at a particular angle.

The Square Radiant cut is just another geometric formula for cutting loose diamonds. The Radiant Cut Diamond is a straight-edged rectangular or square stone with cut corners. The radiant cut diamond has 62-70 facets. Radiant cut diamonds are principally used for center stones and for pendant. Radiant cut diamonds are rarely used for earrings or as side stones because they are hard to calibrate and match.

Are Radiant cut diamonds better? No! Just that simple, it is still a diamond. Your choice of a radiant cut diamond will not make your diamond any better than any other diamond cut. Further, I say stick with tradition for long term value. If you buy a Radient cut diamond engagement ring right now you may actually pay more because the Radient Cut is a popular (fad) cut right now; and current trends always cost more while they are still trendy. A simple round diamond is the most classic of cuts and will always be valued consistently. Personally, I say Radiant cut schmadiant cut, go with the classic proven cuts; the Classic Round Cut Diamond will hold true forever.
