THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE BEAUTY

The Original Radiant Cut was created out of a passion for art and beauty, applied with the expertise that only a diamond cutting legend could bring to his work. Today, our team of radiant cut experts carries on this unique fusion of art and science.

First we measure each diamond to make certain that it is cut to the ideal proportions needed to look its carat weight and possess exceptional life. Proportions represent an essential starting point for a diamond to become an Original Radiant Cut.

Renowned for his expertise as a craftsman, the proportion standards developed by Henry Grossbard go well beyond the information contained in the grading reports from major gem labs. Our measurements were developed specifically for the radiant cut, and fully account for the differences between a round vs. rectangular shape. [See Measuring Proportions Correctly]

Our adjustments for differences in length and width are part of the equation that makes each of our diamonds explode with fire. In addition, our "visible surface area" measurement guarantees that every single Original Radiant Cut Diamond appears its proper size or "spreads its carat weight." [See Proper Carat Weight Spread] Only an Original Radiant Cut can provide you with this level of comfort.

Still, because properly cutting a radiant cut is part art, part science, each diamond must also pass a series of visual examinations before it officially becomes an Original Radiant Cut Diamond. A radiant that fails to both meet our ideal proportions standards [See Ideal Measurements] and pass our visual examination cannot qualify as an Original Radiant Cut.
