Design Considerations The loose heart shaped diamond is usually used in solitaire pendants or earring studs, and brides can commission a set that includes a diamond ring or brooch. Many people, however, prefer to keep engagement rings classic, and then order a heart-shaped diamond to give on anniversaries, birthdays, and naturally, Valentine’s Day. Some people tend to think of heart shaped loose diamonds as “girlish” or casual, but it is simply a matter of finding a design. It’s a good shape for diamonds with a pinkish or reddish tint, though it can look quite dramatic with a blue diamond (especially if offset against white diamonds or a platinum setting). Loose Heart Diamond – Choose the Best OneThe best loose heart diamonds should have a lot of dimension or depth, to show off the design’s natural curves. Furthermore, the depth will help bring out the stone’s brilliance. Flat heart shaped diamonds tend to look a little dull, and detracts from the drama of the piece. Loose Heart Diamond - TechnologyRecent technology has allowed cutters to create a cleave on the top center of a single loose diamond. This technique used to be quite difficult, because of the hardness of the stone and the need for utmost precision—but with lasers and use of computer technology; it is possible to create perfect heart shapes to meet the growing consumer demand. The Symbolism of a Solitaire Heart Diamond The heart has always been a symbol of love, and heart shaped jewelry has been popular for centuries. But a solitaire loose diamond heart —a stone whose brilliance and fire has been shaped through heat and pressure, and proven to be more beautiful because of it—is the perfect analogy for a relationship that will last a lifetime. Couples who seek to bind their love are often entranced by the symbolism of a strong and enduring relationship, as captured by both the essence of a loose diamond, and its shape. Thus, there is a slow but steady interest in this type of stone for heart engagement rings, despite a former conception that the “fancy” cut is too “casual” for such a formal affair. Couples can also incorporate smaller loose heart diamonds as side stones for a round brilliant, or commission a heart shaped pendant to match their traditional engagement ring. This is one of the most romantic ways to celebrate the magic of eternal love. Loose Diamonds: Loose Diamond Search Matching Diamond Pairs Search |
