9.45ct DEW White Moissanite Radiant Solitaire Ring

Nine carats of brilliant-cut fire in the radiant's signature rectangular form — the 9.45ct DEW White Moissanite Radiant Solitaire Ring in 18K Gold Vermeil on 925 Sterling Silver, GRA certified. The radiant cut at 9.45ct DEW combines the elongated shape of a step-cut stone with the full 70-facet brilliant-cut light performance of a round — producing a stone that has both visual size and maximum sparkle.

What is the radiant cut and why does it outperform the emerald cut for sparkle?

The radiant cut was created in 1977 specifically to bring brilliant-cut fire performance to rectangular and square shapes. Unlike the emerald cut (step cut, fewer facets), the radiant has approximately 70 facets arranged in a brilliant pattern across its rectangular form. This produces maximum light dispersion — rainbow fire — across a larger surface area than a round brilliant of comparable weight. At 9.45ct DEW and approximately 15.5×11.5mm, this ring produces animated fire across a stone surface area significantly larger than most engagement rings. It combines the visual footprint of a step cut with the sparkle performance of a brilliant — the best of both cut categories.

How does the 9.45ct radiant compare to Beyoncé's emerald cut engagement ring?

Beyoncé's engagement ring from Jay-Z is an 18ct emerald cut by Lorraine Schwartz — approximately twice the DEW of this ring. However, the radiant cut at 9.45ct will produce substantially more sparkle than an emerald cut at 18ct, because the radiant's brilliant facets scatter light in all directions while the emerald's step facets create slow, architectural reflections. This radiant at 9.45ct produces more visual energy than most 18ct emerald cuts. The comparison illustrates a key truth about large moissanite: cut type affects perceived impact more than carat weight does.
