Heart shaped diamonds are essentially pear shaped diamonds with a cleft at the top. They are the ultimate symbol of romance, and more and more people are choosing heart cut diamonds for engagement and anniversary rings. As with all certified loose diamonds, the beauty of the diamond depends on the skill of the cutter.

When window-shopping for heart shaped diamonds, make sure you look beyond just the total carat weight as the determining factor in your purchase. In addition, don't just go for the cheapest price either, because you won't be getting the highest quality diamond for your money. Sometimes, it makes more sense to go for a smaller sized diamond in order to get a better quality diamond with better cut, clarity, and color.
