Heart Cut Diamonds

A heart shaped natural diamond is a modified brilliant cut that forms the universally recognized heart symbol with a distinctive cleft at the top and a point at the bottom. It typically has 56 to 58 facets and delivers strong brilliance and fire similar to a round cut. Heart shaped diamonds are the most romantic diamond shape, chosen by buyers who want their ring to carry an unmistakable symbol of love.

Heart shaped diamonds are best appreciated at 1 carat and above, as smaller sizes make the heart shape difficult to distinguish clearly. Below 0.50 carats, the distinctive cleft and curves can appear indistinct, and the diamond may look more like a round or pear shape. For the clearest heart silhouette that is immediately recognizable, 1 carat or larger is recommended.

Symmetry is the most critical factor when choosing a heart shaped natural diamond. The two halves should be mirror images with matching lobes and a clearly defined cleft at the top. Look for a length-to-width ratio between 0.90 and 1.10 for well-balanced proportions. Check that the point at the bottom is sharp and centered, and choose VS2 clarity or higher since the brilliant faceting keeps most inclusions hidden.
