Heart Shape Diamond Engagement Rings

A heart-shaped diamond ring can be slightly more expensive per carat compared to some other cuts, mainly due to the skill and precision required to achieve its distinctive shape and symmetry. At DX Diamonds, we offer heart-shaped rings that strike the perfect balance between beauty and value.

A heart-shaped diamond represents passion, romance, and deep emotional connection, making it a perfect choice for proposals. It’s also a more personal and expressive alternative to traditional cuts, ideal for someone who values meaning as much as style. Giving or wearing a heart-shaped diamond ring says you’re not afraid to wear your heart on your sleeve, or your finger.

In general, round brilliant diamonds are the most expensive per carat. That’s because they produce the most sparkle and require more raw material to cut.

The best setting for a heart shaped diamond is one that both protects its unique contours and highlights its romantic silhouette. Popular choices include the solitaire setting, which lets the shape shine on its own, and the halo setting, which adds extra sparkle while enhancing the heart’s outline. A three-prong or five-prong setting, especially one with a V-shaped prong at the pointed tip, is essential to protect the vulnerable point of the heart from chipping.

Heart shaped diamonds are reasonably durable, but they do require thoughtful handling and secure settings. Like other fancy cuts, the pointed tip is the most vulnerable part and can be prone to chipping if not properly protected. Choosing a high-quality setting is key to ensuring longevity.
