  • The most important characteristic of a heart-shaped diamond is that both halves of the stone are identical. The cleft of the diamond has to be sharp and distinct. The wings of the stone should have a very slight round shape
  • Heart shaped diamonds are available in a variety of silhouettes. You can find wide to narrow silhouettes and the choice of the silhouette has to be according to personal preference
  • The ideal length to width ratio of heart-shaped diamonds is about 1.00. If you are looking for diamonds to be set in pendants, you can opt for a stone with a slightly narrow cut (1.05 to 1.15). For a solitaire ring, a slightly wider cut measuring between 0.85 and 1.00 can be used
  • Opt for heart-shaped diamonds that have a minimum ‘good’ cut. Opting for anything lower is not recommended
  • The color of the heart-shaped diamond has to be a minimum of ‘G’ color grade and the clarity has to be a minimum of SI2
  • The table of the diamond has to be between 51 and 63 percent
  • The depth of the diamond has to be between 53 and 62 percent
  • The girdle has to be between Very thin to slightly thick. Some diamonds with a thick girdle can also look good.

Nissan, David and his team were extremely accommodating, understanding and patient with our purchase. They took the upmost care to find the best solution for our needs and went above and beyond normal ‘customer service’ standards. I have absolutely no qualms recommending their products and services. Both were absolutely flawless. I will continue to sing them praises and will most definitely purchase from them again in the future. Thank you again!

Bought a beautiful stone here for an engagement ring. I was a little apprehensive since you’re buying something unseen. But Cid made it easy. In fact, Nissan, the owner also gave a call to make me more comfortable. They sent me the stone to take to a local jeweler with only my Amex in case I bailed on them.
