what are good measurements for radiant?

[linc]

In looking for a radiant I get confused about the best depth/table, girdle, L/W since I get so many differrent opinions when doing information searches.
Does anyone have a ''best possible'' for
1.26-1.35 radiant if I want a more rectangular shape? Say 1.15-1.20?
What is the highest L/W ratio for a rectangular shape?

Hi lin!

Really there are no best measurements for radiants, as it isn''t really possible to judge them by numbers, they need to be seen to be evaluated. What this means for the buyer, is that it can be best to stick to an experienced vendor, who has in house diamonds, that way very often the cut analysis has been done, and they can advise you from there. Otherwise it is so difficult to weed out attractive radiants yourself from the virtual listings.

What I would suggest is to consider these vendors for starters, see which you like and contact them with your requirements. They may be able to suggest some suitable radiants, or find you some.

Also here is a handy shape selector you can play with, as that will give you an idea of your preferred length to width ratio.
