The octagonal radiant cut is a modern powerhouse. It combines the clean lines of an emerald cut with the brilliance of a round, creating a stone that has both structure and fire. This cut is becoming increasingly popular with buyers who want something more contemporary than a traditional oval or cushion. We source ours from partner mines worldwide. Direct, no middlemen. The radiant faceting pattern breaks light into more flashes than step cuts, which makes the color appear more vivid and the stone more lively. Great proportions in an octagonal radiant mean no dark spots and even light distribution. See our current selection below.
