When shopping for an engagement ring you may feel overwhelmed at first. There are so many new and different terms to learn about. How do you know what to pick? I assume if you came to this page that you are interested in radiant cut diamond solitaire engagement rings. So, allow me to explain a little bit about them and why they make a great choice for any engagement ring.

The radiant cut is one of the more unique and interesting diamond cuts out there today. It is a combination of the classic and elegant emerald cut and the more popular and brilliant round cut. They are generally rectangular and have step-cutting like emerald cut diamonds, but with some triangular faceting more like the round cut. Thus, the ring is the perfect choice for those who can't decide between the two styles.

Like all diamond rings there are a few things you need to consider like color, clarity, and carat. Radiant cut diamonds come in color ratings from D to Z, with D having the least color and Z having a lot of yellow. Generally speaking, the closer the stone is to the D rating the more expensive it is going to be.

Clarity is very important for radiant cut diamond rings. Like the emerald cut, the radiant cut really shows off its internal facets. Thus, flaws are far more visible than with a straight round cut brilliant stone. Therefore, you really need to pay attention to the clarity rating of your ring. Personally, I think you should aim for VVS2 or better, but at the end of the day it is up to you. The clearer the stone the higher the price.

The final consideration when in the market for a radiant cut diamond solitaire engagement ring is the size of the diamond itself, expressed in carats. It goes without saying that bigger stones cost more money. What many people don't know is that buying a bigger stone is not always a good value. Quality really matters with diamond engagement rings. This means your money is better spent getting better quality diamonds rather than bigger ones.

So once you know your budget look for the smaller, better quality radiant cut diamonds over the bigger ones. Your ring will look better and she will thank you for it. All that being said, you will find that most radiant cut diamonds tend to start at larger sizes than the round cut brilliant. This means it is difficult to find a quality ring under $1,500. But as they say you get what you pay for.
