A modified round brilliant is any variation on the traditional round brilliant diamond shape.

A heart-shaped diamond may be cut in any way that you desire, unlike a round brilliant. This is because individuals have different preferences when it comes to the proportions of the stone; some want hearts to be longer (which is why they are so popular in pendants) while others like hearts to be broader and rounder.

Curvaceous and Beautiful 

The heart-shaped gemstone’s symmetrical radiance and graceful contours make it impossible to resist its allure. Radiating with flaming brightness, heart-shaped gemstones is a beautiful alternative to the more traditional Round Brilliant.

A heart-shaped gemstone or diamond is the epitome of loving gestures, making it a popular option for engagement rings and a lasting reminder of a special Valentine's Day proposal. For an added personal touch, this form is often used in matching earrings or a pendant to celebrate a significant anniversary.

While the majority of people admire heart-shaped diamonds, some people find them tacky. Make sure the person you're purchasing for will really like the item you're surprising them with, particularly if it's an engagement ring.

Technical Specifications of Heart Shaped cut

A brilliant cut known as the heart shape normally has 57 facets, with 6–8 major facets on the pavilion. It has the same amount of fire, brightness, and scintillation as a Round Brilliant or Princess Cut because of its triangular and kite-shaped facets.

A heart-shaped diamond first has a pear-shaped cut; in fact, the two have facets and designs that are quite similar. A Heart Shape gemstone or diamond, on the other hand, has a fissure at the rounded end. Typically, this cleft is used to remove an inclusion that would otherwise result in a diamond with a pear shape.

While this may lead one to believe that a heart-shaped diamond is just a pear-shaped diamond with some of the corners cut off, the fact is that it requires a great deal more ability and knowledge to achieve a stunning heart shape. The 'wings' or lobes of the heart need to be perfectly symmetrical, with identical features on either side. No rough spots or sharp corners should be seen in the cleft cut. The length to breadth ratio for a Heart Shape Cut should be between 0.90 and 1.10 because of the cut's inherent symmetry.

Evaluating the Heart Shaped Cut

While personal preference plays a role, there are a few essentials to look for when comparing heart-shaped moissanites or diamonds:

• The overall form should be reminiscent of a conventional heart. A heart-shaped cut with too sharp lobes and flat wings looks more like an arrow and is less attractive.

• Symmetry is crucial. The length to breadth ratios may be helpful, but you should also evaluate the stone visually. You should visualize a line running through the middle of the gemstone  and then assess the lobes and the wings for symmetry and equilibrium.

• The cleft must be uniform and well defined. A poorly cut heart diamond will not have a noticeable heart shape and will instead have a soft or mild cleft.

It takes a talented cutter to create a real heart, so it's important to know what to look for.

Minimizing Bow-Tie Effect 

An obviously poorly cut diamond or gemstone will have a bow tie effect. Diamonds of the oval, marquise, pear, and heart shapes are all susceptible to this phenomenon. It's a bow tie-shaped black shadow design that spans the gemstone. 

These dense, black shadows are a consequence of light blockage and facets that are unable to 'bounce' light back towards the eye.

A good cutter must carefully evaluate the angles and proportions involved in every diamond, not only those that could exhibit the bow tie effect, in order to avoid the effect. Before delving deeper into the precise cutting proportions, you will be able to quickly rule out a significant number of badly cut diamonds if you are able to recognize this defect in a diamond.

Carat Weight 

When it comes to different diamond shapes, we simply advise selecting the carat weight that works best for you, since this decision is highly based on your budget and personal preference. Heart shaped diamonds or gemstones are unusual in this regard.

Why this modified cut hasn't become more popular is partly due to carat weight—more particularly, how much carat weight is required! Heart-shaped diamonds should ideally weigh at least 1.00 carat.

In comparison to other modified brilliants of the same carat weight, heart-shaped gemstones seem smaller due to their more deep cut. Additionally, their unique form is obscured at lower carat weights. In the wrong setting, a little heart-shaped diamond might seem like a distorted round brilliant.

While a smaller heart-shaped diamond may be beautiful in the correct setting, this form is often reserved for individuals who can afford stones of 1.00 carats or more.

Color

In terms of color, heart-shaped gemstones do somewhat better than round brilliants, but this is also where you may get the most savings. You should go for anything in the I-G color range, however J may still pass for colorless in certain contexts (think yellow or rose gold).You can go for D, E, or F grade diamonds or gemstones as they are totally colorless. 

The use of a colored diamond may also serve to highlight a stone's form by setting it apart from its mounting and drawing attention to its distinctive outline.

Clarity

The heart-shaped gemstone’s facets, being dazzling, are great at disguising flaws. We may now prioritize the stone's cut and carat weight while still being able to afford a SI1 clarity stone.

Finding an eye-clean stone is the key to selecting a clarity. Even diamonds with a VS2 grade might have undesirable inclusions that are in the wrong places and take away from the diamond's overall brilliance. Additionally, the gemstone’s tip must be free of any imperfections since these might weaken the stone's durability and increase its susceptibility to chipping.

A Heart Cut Diamond is a prime example of superb workmanship. It was made with lovers who are searching for a love sign in mind. Is it simple for him to ask her to marry him by presenting her with a heart-shaped and asking whether she would want to spend the rest of her life with him? 

Heart Shaped Engagement Ring 

There is no denying the undeniable sentimentality and purity of a heart-shaped engagement ring. However, you may not be aware that engagement rings with heart-shaped diamonds are a rarity.

This is due to a number of factors. First and foremost among them is the fact that diamonds of at least half a carat in size look finest when cut into a heart shape. Heart-shaped diamonds are unusual, but they're enjoying a moment of fame.

Heart shaped cuts are sought after because of these factors they come with: 

• Exceptionally unique form will turn heads.

• The diamond form has the most emotional significance.

• Brilliant style aspect arrangement may be brilliant and dazzling.

• Less costly than round of same size and quality

Ideal Settings for a heart shaped gemstone

Most heart-shaped engagement rings are understated in their design, with minimalistic looks highlighting the unique form of the diamond. You might go with the traditional solitaire mounting or go for a more elaborate halo setting with smaller diamonds that follow the gemstones’s contour.

Solitaire settings are ideal for a heart-shaped cut because they highlight the beauty of the stone.

Make sure the tip is carefully covered since it is easily chipped in a normal environment.

When selecting a setting for a heart-shaped gemstone , it is crucial to highlight the uniqueness of the stone. If you choose a claw setting, make sure the claws accentuate the diamond's natural form rather than distorting it.
