Loose Diamonds | Heart Cut

There is perhaps no shape that better encompasses the romance of a diamond, than a heart cut. Adored and admired since the 15th century, heart shaped diamonds bring a sparkling symbolism to fine jewellery and engagement rings.

This historical cut can possess an incredible light performance and display an abundance of brilliance. They are perfect set alone in a solitaire but also look beautiful in a halo setting. Pink diamonds or pink sapphires are a popular partner to a heart shape diamond, further building on the feminine and romantic aesthetic.

GIA Certified Heart Shaped Diamonds

The GIA can provide a detailed look at your diamond and will give accurate grades for the qualities of a heart cut diamond. As is the case with all fancy cuts, the GIA will not issue a cut grade, as there are a variety of cut proportions that can all create a fantastic look heart shaped diamond.

One factor to consider when choosing a heart shaped diamond is ratio. A ratio of between 0:95 – 1:10 will ensure your heart is balanced and as tall as it is wide. However, some people specifically search for an elongated heart – others might desire a wider, rounded heart. There is a beautiful freedom with a heart shaped diamond to choose by eye, instinct and personal taste.

You will also want to ensure the heart is completely symmetrical, that the wings and cleft are distinctive the point is defined.

Heart Cut Diamonds FAQ's

💎What is the best carat weight for a heart shape diamond?

To truly appreciate the iconic heart silhouette, we recommend a minimum of a 1.00ct diamond. While other diamond shapes can be petite and stunning, the heart shape cannot be recognized clearly in weights below 1.00ct. It is also a deep cut, meaning it gives a smaller face up appearance than other cuts of the same carat weight.

💎Are heart shaped diamonds more expensive?

Heart shaped diamonds are a rare and complex cut. For this reason, they tend to carry higher prices than other fancy cuts. They are however around 15% cheaper than round brilliants of the same carat weight.

💎What is the best setting for a heart shaped diamond?

Heart shaped diamonds can look beautiful in a simple solitaire, with three prongs protecting the tops of the wings and the point of the diamond. Tapered bands are also a popular choice for heart shaped diamonds, allowing the silhouette to be fully appreciated and making the diamond appear wider.
