The radiant cut is a beautiful combination of the classic emerald cut and the sparkle of the round brilliant. The radiant cut is similar to the princess cut but is usually (though not always) a more rectangular outline and has blocked corners like those of an emerald cut. The cutting is a combination of the step-cutting of the emerald-cut diamond with some triangular faceting of the brilliant cut. The radiant cut is dramatic as a solitaire but also looks great paired with side stones such as baguettes, trillions, or princess shapes. A radiant-cut stone should be set with special prongs to hold the blocked corners securely. 4, record 1, English, - radiant

Just as the rails of a track seem to diverge from a distant point, so the trails of meteors in a shower appear to spread from a point or small area in the sky. The "radiant" of a meteor shower is the vanishing point in the perspective of the parallel trails; it is located by extending the trails backward. 1, record 6, English, - radiant

On observe systématiquement des "essaims météoriques" qui au cours d'un certain intervalle de temps (quelques nuits) apparaissent à peu près dans la même région du ciel. Si on prolonge leurs traces en arrière, ces traces se rencontreront près d'un point qu'on appelle "radiant". 1, record 6, French, - radiant
