Radiant Cuts: Ours VS Theirs

Can you believe both of these diamonds weigh 1.70 carats and are D-F in color and VVS2 to VS2 in clarity? Well it's true! The diamond on the left (theirs) although slightly less expensive pales in comparison to the one on the right (ours). What makes these diamonds so different in appearance is the cut. As you watch the video it becomes clear that "their stone" on the left lacks sparkle & dimensions. It is cut deep & due to that it gives off a watery appearance with light leaking out from the bottom of the stone. "Ours" on the other hand comes in at 8.6mm long, which is usually reserved for a diamond that weighs 2 to 2.2 carats, & has a very even, sharp sparkle throughout. Our radiant cut diamonds are specially cut on the pavilion of the stone (the bottom half) so that the facets extend directly upwards. This allows for more weight to be distributed on top & also helps keep the brilliance radiating throughout the stone.
