Radiant Cut Lab Diamond Engagement Rings in 14K Yellow Gold

All six house radiants are lab-grown, E color, VS1, in 14K yellow gold.

R-0004 is the value standout: a 3.01 ct center for $2,200. R-0007 pairs a 4.01 ct center with nearly 4 more carats of side diamonds.

If you love the emerald outline but want more sparkle and less clarity worry, radiant is the answer. See emerald cut rings to compare.

A ratio near 1.00 to 1.05 looks square. About 1.20 to 1.35 looks like a classic rectangle; above 1.35 looks long and slim on the finger. Choose by eye on your hand. Rectangular radiants also face up larger than rounds of the same weight.

Every house ring is graded E color, VS1 clarity. In plain words: E is the second-whitest grade on GIA's D-to-Z color scale, so the diamond looks icy white even next to white paper. VS1 means the diamond has small inclusions that a trained grader finds with effort under 10x magnification; with the naked eye it looks clean.

Radiants concentrate color in the corners, so a high color grade like E keeps the whole stone white. Clarity is less of a worry here than on step cuts, and VS1 is comfortably clean.

Every house radiant is set in 14K yellow gold. The warm metal frames the white diamond and makes it look whiter by contrast, and the cut corners keep the stone safe from chipping, so the setting can be simple. 14K gold is 58.3% pure gold and harder than 18K, which keeps prongs tight. More on gold: yellow gold engagement rings.

Radiants suit people who want sparkle and a modern rectangle at the same time. The cut-corner outline wears well on long fingers and looks bold on shorter ones, especially at ratios above 1.25. It is also forgiving in daily life: there is no fragile point like a pear or marquise, and the brilliant facets hide small inclusions and the dust that collects on any ring between cleanings.

In our house inventory, radiants are some of the strongest values for center size: R-0004 carries a 3.01 ct center at $2,200, and R-0007 adds nearly 4 more carats of side stones around a 4.01 ct center for $4,400. Lab-grown stones are what make those numbers possible. A natural radiant of the same center weight and grade would sit in a different price class entirely.

A straight band sits flush against a radiant solitaire, which makes stacking simple. Match the band to the 14K yellow gold of the ring so both wear at the same rate, and pick a band width close to the engagement ring's shank so the two look like a set.

All house radiants are lab-grown and labeled as such. A natural 3 ct radiant at E VS1 would cost many times more. Confirm your ring size first: all sales are final and resizing is not part of our published policies. Ask about the paperwork for the exact ring.
