Princess and radiant cuts are both geometric, brilliant styles, but their corner structure and proportions differ.

Princess cut

Princess cuts are square with sharp corners and a crisp modern outline. Their corners require careful protection.

Radiant cut

Radiant cuts may be square or elongated and usually have cropped corners. This creates a softer geometric shape with broad brilliance.

Choosing between them

Choose princess for a sharp square look. Choose radiant for softer corners, elongated options, and broader finger coverage.

FAQs
