The radiant cut was created in 1977 by Henry Grossbard by combining elements of emerald cuts and brilliant cuts.

Radiant cut diamonds are rectangular shaped, cut-cornered diamonds with a step cut crown and brilliant cut pavilion.

Radiant cut diamonds are similar in shape to emerald cuts, but have a much more brilliant appearance.
