Radiant-Cut Solitaire Ring, 0.99 ct (product Code: SR00102-YGP900) At first sight, the most obvious difference is that radiant-cuts have dropped off edges, unlike the regular square shape of a princess cut diamond. Also, some radiants have a more rectangular shape. However, visually, you can tell the difference between a princess-cut and a radiant-cut by the way they reflect light. In a princess cut, the reflected light forms a clearly identifiable X pattern, while in a radiant-cut, the light is reflected in a circular pattern. Princess-cuts are fashionable – their solid square shape and their linear light interplay gives them a bold, strong character, white the gentler, more arrayed light reflection, along with the dropped edges lend radiant-cut diamonds a much softer appearance. 
In terms of popularity, fancy square shapes are a big hit with celebrities, especially in the US. Actress Hilary Duff has been flaunting her million-dollar 14 carat princess-cut diamond engagement ring given to her by her footballer boyfriend, and Actor Ben Affleck gave Jennifer Lopez a beautiful radiant cut pink diamond engagement ring. There are impressive advantages to choosing princess and radiant cuts over rounds. To begin with, fancies are a great way to create a signature ring that defines your style, because they stand apart from regular diamond jewellery dominated by the round shape. But best of all, there is the value factor. Fancies offer you excellent value for the same money, while bringing loads of looks, fire and fashion appeal. So if you are looking to solve the problem of finding maximum fire and beauty in a one-of-a-kind diamond at a value-friendly price tag, then princess and radiant cuts are just perfect for you.
