Heart Shaped Diamond

The Heart Shaped Diamond is a very unique diamond shape. If there is one way to really draw attention to a diamond ring it is with a fancy cut heart shaped diamond. The heart is a symbol of love and romance in any culture and giving it in the form of a heart shaped diamond would be unforgettable. As far as fancy cut diamonds go this is about as unique and original as it gets.

Since it is a contemporary cut, the Heart Shaped Diamond was designed to have a lot of brilliance. Designed with the round brilliant diamond in mind to get as much brilliance out of a heart shape. With 59 facets you are getting a lot of fire and brilliance and will suit many uses. In many cases a diamond cutter takes diamond stone with a large inclusion and whittles away to eliminate the inclusion creating the cleft of the heart.

While the heart shaped diamond will look great on as a heart shaped diamond ring it can play a romantic role as a heart shaped diamond necklace or as heart shaped diamond earrings. Frequently you will see 2 carat heart shaped diamonds used for a necklace or a pair of 1 carat heart shaped diamonds used for earrings.

In the case of a heart shaped diamond it is important to review the overall quality of the diamond, including diamond color cut clarity and carat weight. I do suggest that you review proportions closely to make sure your diamond has great brilliance and fire. the proper depth of the diamond will give you optimal light reflection giving you all the sparkle that a heart shaped diamond ring deserves.
