Heart Shaped Loose Diamonds

Are the heart shaped diamonds at Fascinating Diamonds symmetrical?

At Fascinating Diamonds, we understand that symmetry is crucial in heart shaped diamonds. That’s why our team carefully handpicks these diamonds, prioritizing balanced proportions and aligned lobes to ensure the shape feels visually pleasing from every angle.

What is the ideal length-to-width ratio for a heart shaped diamond?

The ideal length-to-width ratio for a classic heart shaped diamond is between 0.90 and 1.10, i.e., neither too wide nor too narrow. The ultimate choice depends on your personal preference. If you want a narrower heart, opt for a ratio of 1.05 to 1.15. For a wider heart, explore a 0.90-0.95 ratio.

How big should a heart shaped diamond be to look good?

While 0.50 carats of a heart shaped diamond is enough to make the outline noticeable, 1-carat or bigger options highlight their shape the best. If you want to balance affordability and optimal visibility, consider options between 0.75 and 1.00 carats. For maximum visual impact, especially in solitaires, consider 1.50 carats and above.

Does a heart shaped diamond sparkle like other brilliant cuts?

Yes, it’s a modified brilliant cut with 57 facets and 6-8 main facets on the pavilion, which means it’s engineered for elevated sparkle. While it may not outshine a round brilliant cut’s fire, a well-cut heart diamond offers excellent brilliance and scintillation.

What color grade looks best in a heart shaped diamond?

Heart shaped diamonds typically feature more color than round cuts, so a G-H or higher color grade is ideal for a bright, colorless appearance. Additionally, prioritize VS1 or VS2 clarity for a clean appearance. However, if you want a vintage warm tone to your diamond, consider the I-J color grade for a romantic touch. These look mesmerizing with yellow and rose gold metal.

Are inclusions easy to see in a heart shaped diamond?

In heart shaped diamonds, inclusions are particularly easy to see around the cleft and pointed tip. This is even more noticeable in low-clarity diamonds. This is why we recommend a VS2 or higher clarity-grade option for this cut, ensuring a clean look to the naked eye.

What setting works best for a heart shaped diamond?

Heart shaped diamonds are ideal for solitaire, halo, and three-stone settings on rings and pendants. In terms of stone setting styles, prong and bezel settings offer optimal protection while flaunting their shape the best.

Why are heart shaped diamonds sometimes cheaper than rounds?

Round cut diamonds are the most popular, and their cutting process generates a huge volume of waste, making it more expensive. In contrast, heart shaped diamonds have comparatively lower demand. There is a high potential for utilizing rough diamonds, which can result in less-than-ideal shapes. Their production is significantly more cost-efficient, making them more affordable.

Is the diamond certified by a trusted lab?

Absolutely. All of our loose heart shaped diamonds are certified by the GIA or IGI and come with detailed grading reports that include cut, color, clarity, and carat information.
