How to buy a diamond



The length-to-width ratio of the heart can vary. The best ratio for you will depend on your personal preferences so do your shopping to determine what you like best.

As with fancy shapes in general, cutting parameters are for the most part determined by the shape and nature of the rough diamond crystal.

Cutters are sometimes motivated to cut a heart shape when a large inclusion in a particular location must be removed. By orienting that inclusion to the heart's cleft, maximum weight retention can be achieved.

Heart diamonds are modifications of the traditional round brilliant configuration.

Most heart shaped brilliants are purchased as single diamonds, most commonly for solitaire necklaces in sizes of a half carat or above.

Solitaire rings are also popular as are matched pairs for stud earrings and side stones for diamond rings. There is a noticeable increase in demand for heart shaped diamond around Valentine's Day.

Certified Heart Diamond is the perfect gift whatever the occasion.

The heart shape is surely the romantic shape for a diamond.

Basically it is a pear shape with a notch cut into the rounded end. Heart and pear shaped diamonds are variations of the round brilliant cut. The modern round brilliant cut is generally the best cut for diamonds, and justly remains the most popular.

Any of the Heart diamonds can be set in your choice of white gold, yellow gold, or platinum, according to her preference.
