An extraordinary and brilliant embodiment of the most iconic symbol of love, the heart shaped diamond is for the true romantic. Being in the modified brilliant family, the 56 to 58 facets of a well-cut heart shaped diamond boast an exquisite figure and intense fire and scintillation.

Heart shaped diamonds have noticeable variations in slenderness and width. Although this ratio is primarily a matter of preference, we recommend choosing one with a length-to-width ratio of 0.95 - 1.05, 1.00 being ideal. Regardless of the ratio that you prefer aesthetically, it is always important to select a heart shaped diamond that is proportionately symmetrical and has smooth and evenly-rounded curves.

Here are our cut, color and clarity recommendations for maximum beauty, brilliance and value in a heart shaped diamond:

*Disclaimer: We are in no way guaranteeing that you will receive the best diamond possible if you blindly purchase a stone with these attributes. We are simply suggesting that, in our experience, we believe that narrowing down your selection of diamonds to only those that fall within these ranges of attributes, will give you the best chance of maximizing your diamonds beauty, brilliance and value. And we highly recommend having your diamond evaluated, in person, by an educated and experienced diamond expert before making your final purchase.
