Question 1

What is a heart shaped diamond?

Accepted Answer

A heart shaped lab diamond is a unique shape that symbolises love and romance. The unique look of the heart makes it a sweet choice for engagement rings and other lab diamond jewellery. It is crafted in a shape that resembles the universal symbol of love. A skilled diamond cutter cuts and facets the diamond in such a way that it forms two rounded lobes at the top that meet at a point at the bottom.

Question 2

Is heart shaped diamond more expensive?

Accepted Answer

A heart shaped diamond is one of the most expensive diamond cuts. But it is not the most expensive diamond shape. Heart shaped diamonds are often seen as a unique emblem of love and affection. This diamond shape is based on the round brilliant cut that typically has 56 to 58 facets. When it comes down to the pricing of heart shaped diamonds, they are generally 15 to 20% cheaper than other diamond shapes. However, just like every other diamond, the pricing of this diamond is also based on the 4 C's of diamonds.

Question 3

Is heart shaped diamond rare?

Accepted Answer

Though a popular choice amongst couples, heart shaped lab diamonds are somewhat rare compared to more common fancy shapes like round or princess cuts. That is because creating a heart shaped diamond requires skilled cutting to achieve a symmetrical shape and a distinct cleft on top.

Question 4

What are the most popular heart-shaped lab diamond engagement ring settings?

Accepted Answer

Heart shaped diamonds are often set in unique settings to accentuate their flirty shape. Some of the popular settings for heart shaped diamond engagement rings are solitaire with a three prong setting because it gives a simple yet elegant feel. This setting allows the diamond’s unique shape to take center stage. The second most popular setting for a heart shaped engagement ring is side stones. The setting perfectly blends romance and elegance, complemented by additional smaller diamonds.

Question 5

Are heart shaped lab diamonds good for daily wear and durable?

Accepted Answer

You can wear a heart shaped lab diamond on an everyday basis. They are durable and resilient because they share the same physical and chemical attributes. Being scratch resistant and robust enough to endure everyday tasks, heart shaped diamonds are a favorite among many. But it remains important to handle all diamonds, including those with a heart shape, with due care.
