Radiant vs Cusion

[Laurie2]

Can someone talk about the difference between these 2 cuts.

Laurie, these are both very different cuts with different personalities. Have you been out to some stores to look at examples of each to see which you like? There is a lot of info on this site which you can read up on also, one thing is that these cuts can't really be judged accurately by the numbers, so you need photos and things like ASET images if buying online. I will link some threads to start you off.

A Cushion by any other name

Hope some of this helps! You can also use the search tool for Radiants and cushions and find lots of great info in the archives.

Thanks Loreli. I was 20 when I got married the first time. I found a ring I liked in a wedding magazine and got it. But now I''m 46 and getting married again (this time to mr. right) and I never imagined how much you need to know. Its really a lot of work. Thanks for the help. I think I''m in love with cushions.
