Soft octagonal shaped diamond – Radiant cut
What is a Radiant shape diamond?
A Radiant shape diamond is a soft octagonal shape diamond, which combines the brilliance of a brilliant-cut diamond and the structural features of an Emerald cut. It is one of the most modern and versatile shapes in contemporary jewellery, emphasising the importance of jewellery as a symbol of luxury and individuality.
A diamond is more than a stone
A diamond is a symbol of love, strength and eternity. It forms in nature from pure carbon under high pressure and heat, and this takes millions of years. Natural diamonds are among the hardest on Earth of all found gemstones.
How does Radiant differ from other shapes?
The Radiant shape differs from Princess or Asscher shapes in its abundance of facets and strong light reflection. Every soft octagonal shape diamond has unique properties that distinguish it from other shapes. It has 70 or even more facets, which provide maximum light dispersion and intense brilliance.
Why choose the Radiant shape?
If you need a stone that features both brilliance and durability – a soft octagonal shape diamond is an excellent choice. It is not only beautiful, but also very functional, suitable for both classic and modern design.
Diamond price: what determines it?
The price of a diamond depends on several main factors: carat, colour, clarity, cut quality and certificate. The better the quality, the higher the price. In addition, diamond prices can vary greatly, as lab-grown diamonds are often cheaper than natural diamonds.
Price of a 1 carat diamond in a Radiant cut
The price of a 1 carat Radiant cut diamond usually starts from 2500 euros and can reach more than 10000 euros. This depends on clarity, colour, cut precision and whether the diamond is certified. It is important to understand all these factors before making a purchasing decision.
Diamonds and the importance of clarity
Clarity indicates how many inclusions a diamond has. Recommended quality grades: VS1, VVS1 or better. Certified diamonds will always have an exact clarity grading. It is important to know the clarity grade when purchasing a diamond so that you can make an informed decision.
GIA certificate – a guarantee of quality
GIA (Gemological Institute of America) is one of the world’s most respected gemological institutions. Diamonds certified by GIA are reliably evaluated according to strict standards.

When choosing a soft octagonal shape diamond, consider: carat weight, clarity, colour, cut quality and, most importantly, personal preferences. It is worth choosing a diamond responsibly, so it is important to know the main characteristics before buying.
Diamond colour spectrum
Although brilliant-cut diamonds are usually colourless, Radiant cut diamonds can have various yellowish, pink or even blue hues, which has a direct impact on the diamond’s price.
Radiant diamonds or brilliant-cut diamonds?
Radiant diamonds feature the same brilliance as brilliant-cut diamonds, but they have a unique rectangular or square shape. They differ from classic brilliant-cut diamonds in geometry, but not in sparkle. Soft octagonal shape diamonds, just like brilliant-cut diamonds, are valued for their clarity, colour, cut and certification, which makes them not only aesthetically appealing jewellery pieces or meaningful personal gifts for special occasions, but also a valuable investment.
