Are radiant cut diamonds sparkly?

Yes. Radiant cut diamonds use brilliant-style faceting that produces exceptional fire and sparkle — more than emerald or Asscher cuts. They combine the geometric elegance of a step cut with the light performance of a brilliant cut.

Should I choose lab-grown or natural diamond for under £3,000?

Under £3,000, you can choose a larger lab-grown diamond (1ct–1.5ct) or a smaller but geologically rare natural diamond (0.5ct–0.7ct). Lab-grown maximises size and sparkle; natural offers rarity and tradition. Both are excellent choices.
