Heart Cut Diamonds

The Heart Cut Diamond is agruably one of the most romantic shapes available. These diamonds invoke a pure emotion of affection and love making them a popular choice around Valentine's as well as for marking relationship milestones.

The heart cut diamond often beigns as a pear shape with an inclusion within the rounded end. By reshaping to remove such inclusion the pear shape diamond is divided into two lobes, creating the heart shape.

Idealy, the length to width ratio is one to one. The diameter of a heart shape diamond is measured accross the widest portion of the lobes.

It makes for a great pendant diamond however other settings are also in fashion. A five prong setting is recommended.
