Pro Grade Diamond
Which is nicer, a princess cut diamond or a radiant cut diamond? What are the pros and cons for both?
Also, how do you tell what kind of cut they have? There is not cut grade lised on GIA cert.
These are very similar cuts. The biggest different is the corners. Basically, a radiant cut diamond is a princess cut diamond with slipped corners. The clipped corners allow prongs to grasp the corners in a more secure fashion.
So, with the radiant cut (in a prong setting), the pro is the security of the diamond.
If you put a princess cut in a prong setting, it’s likely to cover the corners a bit, anyway. This is meant to keep the diamond secure. If the corners are exposed, they are also more likely to chip.
And here’s the con for a radiant cut: price. If you compare two similar diamonds (same carat weight, clarity grade, color grade, etc.) except one is a radiant cut and one is a princess cut, the radiant cut will be more expensive. One example (link below) estimated the radiant cut is about 12% more expensive, but they used a small sample size, so that is probably just an estimate.
Also, radiant cut has slightly less sparkle (light bouncing through it) than princess cut. (I don’t know why–but there’s a link below to a list of all the diamonds’ sparkliness.)
When a shape doesn’t have a cut grade (someone else answered this already is great detail), there’s not a hard and fast industry written standard. So, if you need to judge for yourself, look for sharp edges (no rolled edges), smooth surfaces (no scratches from sloppy work), and proportion (if you drew a line to divide it in half, are both sides the same or somehow off balance?).
I hope this helps.
