Features
•    You can also get 1 carat diamond and 2 carat diamond in the radiant cut. This traditional diamond is a quintessentially step cut or square cut stone which does not compromise on its luminous and brilliance. It comes across as an exquisitely refined stone which offers a fine balance between a sparkle and a glamorous silhouette.
•    A 1 carat radiant cut diamond is a beautiful, symmetric and non-traditional cut of a diamond stone, which combines the purity of an emerald cut and also the brilliance of a round cut. These diamonds need to be cut well to show off their sparkle and refinement and you need to buy these from well-known diamond merchants who have skilled craftsmen.
•    A radiant cut diamond has around 70 facets, which makes this 1 carat diamond, the most faceted shape available. These are very unique stones and according to a survey, only around 1.6% diamonds available for sale are cut in radiant shape.
•    The GIA does not grade radiant cut diamonds. The color of these diamonds refers to how much color is visible. The smaller radiant cut stones hide their color better when compared to the larger radiant cut diamonds and so depending upon the size, you may not require buying a colorless diamond, if particularly you want a colorless one.
•    The clarity of a radiant cut diamond depends upon how severe the imperfections are on the diamond. The flaws in a smaller stone are harder to see than in the larger ones. Radiant cut diamonds manage to hide their blemishes and flaws well because of their many facets and a lot of sparkle, especially when compared to the emerald cut diamonds.
With so many interesting features and qualities in a radiant cut diamond, you can consider investing in a 1 carat diamond as diamonds last forever.
