Heart Shaped Diamonds

Heart-shaped diamonds are a symbol of love and romance, making them a popular choice for engagement rings and other romantic jewelry. This distinctive cut combines the brilliance of the round brilliant with the unique, emotional appeal of a heart shape.

About Heart Shaped Diamonds

The heart shape has been associated with diamonds for centuries, with references to heart-shaped diamonds dating back to the 16th century. One of the earliest mentions is a heart-shaped diamond gifted by Mary Queen of Scots to Queen Elizabeth I in 1562.

Heart-shaped diamonds are a romantic and distinctive choice, celebrated for their unmistakable symbolism and unique shape. Developed and refined over centuries, they are a testament to the skill of diamond cutters and the enduring appeal of romantic jewellery. This cut, resembling the universal symbol of love, features a distinctive cleft at the top and a pointed end at the bottom, requiring a high level of skill and precision to ensure perfect symmetry and balance. Typically, heart-shaped diamonds exhibit excellent brilliance and fire, similar to that of pear brilliant cuts. The heart shape's curves and angles reflect light beautifully, creating a dazzling display of sparkle. Often chosen for sentimental jewellery pieces such as engagement rings, heart-shaped diamonds are a popular choice for those looking to express their affection and commitment.
