Radiant Proportions

[Jimbo]

I am in the market for a 1 ct. Radiant stone. What are the best depth and table measurements to stay within? I have read different opinions on this subject. Some say 65/65 for maximum brillance, while others say up 75. I have done searches on Pricescope for 65/65 VS1 F Box Cut and not found too much available. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks

Hi Jimbo,

I would definately preffer 65/65 Radiant, than those with depths over 70%.
Also, I really like a length to width ratio of 1.3:1, pretty much like a classic matchbox.

DON'T buy a 75% depth diamonds as you will either end up with a too long diamond, or a 1ct that appears like 0.75cts.
