Heart Shaped Diamonds: A Romantic Choice for Engagement Rings
Heart shaped diamonds are bold, feminine and unmistakably romantic. Learn about proportions, carat weight and which settings flatter this unique cut.
What Makes a Beautiful Heart Cut?
A well-cut heart diamond should show two smooth, symmetrical lobes and a gentle cleft at the top. The ratio between length and width should sit near 1:1. Because the shape is custom, cut quality matters more than any other factor. Explore heart-shaped rings.
Heart Cut Buying Tips
| Factor | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Carat | 0.7ct minimum so the shape reads clearly |
| Clarity | SI1 or better; inclusions on the wings are visible |
| Colour | G+ for white gold, J+ for yellow gold |
| Symmetry | Excellent symmetry is non-negotiable |
Pairing It With a Setting
Heart diamonds look best in solitaire, halo or three-stone settings. Halo settings make the centre look larger and emphasise the outline. Message us to design a custom heart-shaped ring.
