Radiant Rings
Among the most-loved pieces in our collection is the radiant cut engagement ring. Modern and full of fire, the radiant’s cropped corners and brilliant-style facets deliver bold sparkle with a sleek, rectangular silhouette.
What Makes Radiant Engagement Rings So Special?
The radiant cut blends the clean outline of an emerald cut with the scintillation of a brilliant cut. Its cropped corners add durability and a refined, contemporary feel, while the facet pattern maximises brightness in everyday lighting.
At House of Diamonds, we balance length-to-width proportions, head height, and band width so your radiant sits comfortably, looks elegant from every angle, and pairs beautifully with a wedding band.
The Craftsmanship Behind a Radiant Solitaire
Corner support is key. We use well-shaped claws or double claws on the cropped corners for protection, align prongs for symmetry, and set the head to invite light while keeping a low-snag profile. Meticulous finishing ensures clean lines and secure wear.

Choose natural or lab-grown diamonds, your metal (18K yellow, white, rose gold or platinum), and proportions from elegant rectangular to near-square.
Why Choose a Radiant Diamond?
A radiant diamond offers brilliant sparkle with modern geometry. It often shows strong presence on the finger, stacks well with straight or pavé bands, and suits both minimal and more detailed settings.

FAQ: Radiant Engagement Rings
What is a radiant cut?
A rectangular (or square) diamond with cropped corners and a brilliant-style facet pattern—combining crisp lines with lively sparkle.
Radiant vs emerald cut—what’s the difference?
Radiant = bright, “crackling” scintillation; Emerald = elegant “hall-of-mirrors” flashes. Both are beautiful—choose the light effect you prefer.
What length-to-width ratio should I choose?
Classic rectangular looks sit around ~1.20–1.35; near-square radiants are ~1.00–1.05. We’ll show side-by-side options to compare.
Do radiants show colour more than rounds?
They can show a touch more body colour. In white metals many clients choose G–H and higher; warmer metals can complement slightly lower colours.
“Crushed ice” vs “brilliant” look—what’s that?
Some radiants have tighter, sparkly patterns (“crushed ice”), others show larger, defined flashes (“brilliant”). We’ll curate stones to your preference.
Will a wedding band sit flush?
Often yes with a thoughtfully sized head and low profile. Some designs suit a gentle contour band—we’ll guide you during design.
Can a radiant ring be resized?
Typically within 1–2 sizes depending on the band and any pavé. Plain bands are especially resize-friendly.
4-prong or double-claw corners?
Both are secure when well made. Double-claws add a refined detail; single claws keep a cleaner, minimal look.
