A heart ring is a beautiful and loving gift for many occasions. The heart shape can be made from a diamond , a colored gemstone or the precious metal itself.
Enchanting and very suitable as an engagement ring, a heart ring with a heart diamond is a unique and unmistakable sign of love.
A heart ring with colored gemstones
Colored gemstones such as ruby or red tourmaline also look very beautiful on a heart ring. As an alternative to the faceted heart cut, the shape of a heart cabochon is also suitable for these.
A ring with a heart-cut diamond
The heart cut is one of the modified brilliant cuts, which are similar to the brilliant cut in the arrangement of the facets and the resulting optical properties. This shape is a great challenge for the cutter. To achieve a symmetrical and even appearance, a high level of craftsmanship and a lot of experience is required.
In principle, personal taste is the deciding factor when it comes to the shape of a heart diamond. However, there are some indicators that indicate a high quality cut, which is crucial for the fire and brilliance of the gemstone. Symmetry is very important, and the length-to-width ratio should be approximately 1:1.
settings for the heart diamond
The bezel setting is ideal for a heart ring with a diamond, as it surrounds the entire girdle of the gemstone. This means the diamond is very well protected from damage and the heart shape is further emphasized, as it is echoed by the setting made of precious metal.
An alternative to this is a three-part prong setting, where one V-shaped prong is at the top of the heart and the other two prongs are at the upper bulges.
