FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is an heart cut diamond?
Heart-cut diamonds are made up of between 56 and 58 facets. The heart-cut diamond often features “French tips” on the pointed end that helps to magnify shine and brilliance. The heart diamonds cutting process begins with a pear-cut diamond, which is then further elaborated into a heart shape by cutting the cleft and rounding out the sides. Because of their complex shape, heart-cut diamonds of 0.5 carats or larger tend to look the best. The heart-cut is also considered a modified brilliant-cut shape and is popular for both engagement ring settings and solitaire pendants.
Do heart cut diamonds look larger than other types?
Heart cut diamonds do tend to look bigger than standard cut diamonds. The reason is they exhibit edge-to-edge brightness. While the darker middle section and outer edges of many standard cut diamonds make them seem smaller, especially when the diamonds are viewed from a distance.
Heart Cut or Round Cut Diamonds?
The modern round brilliant cut diamond has 57 facets, which rises to 58 facets if it is included in the bottom cutlet. The heart diamond cut also features 58 facets. The factor that dictates whether a round brilliant cut diamond will exhibit a heart diamond cut is a combination of proportions and optical precision.
Optical precision is the consistency of facet shape, and size. But it also requires extreme precision with regards to the alignment of the facets, as they are indexed, or polished upon the surface of the diamond.
Each ring has its own uniqueness and can be easily recognised. Both can look fantastic in a ring especially if you choose them for an engagement ring
