Heart loose diamonds are a true symbol of eternal love, a favorite among romantics, and an ideal shape for an engagement ring. Its unique cut also helps it stand out among more popular and common varieties like the round loose diamond or even the princess cut loose diamond while still providing a similar brilliance.
Among the fancy cuts, the heart loose diamonds deliver the most "dazzle". That lies, in part, to the intricate facets numbering at least 59 which allow light to reflect off its many surfaces. In fact, it can even be more brilliant than classic cuts like emerald loose diamonds or the oval cut loose diamonds.
The heart shaped loose diamond is usually used in solitaire pendants or earring studs, and brides can commission a set that includes a loose diamond ring or brooch. Many people, however, prefer to keep engagement rings classic, and then order a heart-shaped loose 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 loose 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).
The best heart loose 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 loose diamonds tend to look a little dull, and detracts from the drama of the piece.
Recent 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 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 heart loose 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.
