DIAMOND SHAPE

The Heart cut diamond

The symbol of love, cut in stone. The heart cut is rare, delicate and full of meaning, for a gift that is never forgotten.

Origin

An old shape that few cutters master today, because the symmetry of a heart is hard to get right.

Character

A heart shape, brilliant-cut: a point at the bottom, two rounded lobes at the top. Its symmetry is hard to achieve, and it is what makes the stone beautiful.

Ideal for

Those who want a diamond that tells a story: a proposal, a birth, an anniversary. It can be worn as a ring, a pendant or earrings.

Dealer's tip

I always check the symmetry: the two lobes must be equal and the point well centred. I protect the point with a prong, because it is the fragile spot of this shape.

Choosing a heart shaped diamond

The heart demands a precise cut: two symmetrical lobes and a well centred point. It reads better from a certain weight, often 0.50 ct and more. I look closely at symmetry, because an unbalanced heart is noticed at once.

Whatever the shape, the cut matters more than the paperwork: two diamonds with the same certificate are not equal. I compare stones with each other and keep the one that returns light best, with a GIA or HRD certificate. Tell me your budget, the weight and the ring style, and I will offer you a selection.
