I know Valentines day is very commercial, but to me it is so romantic, and what is more romantic than a diamond heart you can wear forever?
But before you start dreaming of a romantic dinner and a diamond heart, here are som key points for what to look for when buying a diamond heart:
Always remember the 4 C’s
- Carat
- Color
- Clarity
- Cut
Diamond hearts are all cut differently, you can find narrow hearts, chubby hearts, and uneven hearts.
You will have to look at the different parts of the heart:
Some cutters will make diamonds with elongated lobes and a narrower belly (chubby heart), while others may make flatter wings and narrow points (skinny). It all depends on the shape of the original rough diamond.
Just have a look at these terrible cut diamond hearts. (The one on the right has a lots of inclusions too, which doesn’t make it more charming)
Personally I love the even, slightly chubby hearts, and not surprisingly I love huge diamond hearts, just like this:
Lady Gagas ex-engagement ring
She actually gave it back to Taylor Kinney when she broke the engagement (I would never have done that (given back the diamond))
Here is a selection of my favourite diamond jewellery with heart shaped diamonds.
