Lab Grown Heart Shaped Diamonds

A heart shaped diamond is essentially pear shaped diamonds with a cleft at the top that creates that iconic heart shape we all know so well. A heart shaped diamond is usually set as the center stone in a diamond ring.

If your significant other is a true romantic with a feminine style, then the heart shaped diamond is the perfect choice for them.

Due to their unmistakable shape and meaning, heart diamonds are one of the most ideal choices for romantic diamonds.

Because a heart cut diamond has one of the less common fancy shapes, many people do not know much about how they are graded and how they are different from traditional round diamonds. Fancy cut diamonds are not exempt from the 4 C's. The process, however, may be a more complex.

Cut — The diamond shapes refer to its physical appearance, while diamond cuts refer to how well the diamond’s features interact with light. A rough diamond can be cut into any shape, but it takes skilled diamond cutters to perfect fancy shapes. Because a heart shaped diamond is a “fancy” cut, they have no official grade.

Clarity — Diamond clarity refers to the number of imperfections a diamond has. Each diamond has a different amount of these inclusions. The clarity grades for diamonds range from SI2 (having the largest amount) to VVS1 (having the least). Because of the shape and cut of heart diamonds, flaws will be obvious—but if a diamond you like seems flawless to you, your partner probably won’t be able to spot any blemishes either.

Color — When shopping for a diamond, you generally want to look for colorless diamonds. The color grading scale ranges from Z (containing the most color) to D (containing the least color). Heart diamonds do retain their color, so if you prefer a diamond to look white, choose a color close to D. If your significant other won’t mind a warmer stone, a diamond on the other end of the spectrum will work well.

Carat — One of the most important factors when it comes to heart diamonds is their carat weight. Heart shaped diamonds must be large enough for their distinctive shapes to be obvious; too small, and they will appear round. Often, halos can distract from the heart instead of making it look larger, so you want to make sure you like how a halo setting looks before deciding on it. By purchasing a lab grown diamond, you can save 20-30% on the price—enabling you to increase the carat size enough for the romantic shape to appear obvious.

Like other fancy shapes, the heart shaped diamond can vary from diamond to diamond because there is a lot of room for different appearances. The classic heart shaped diamond has a length to width ratio of 1, though anything from 1.05 (narrow) to .95 (squatter) is popular. The girdle should be very thin and slightly thick.

When deciding whether your loved one might prefer a more elongated or squat heart, look through their clothes and jewelry for any items featuring hearts that might give you a clue as to which shape and length they might like.

A heart shaped diamond is the perfect center stone for an engagement ring. Your significant other can wear the heart diamond ring just like a classic engagement ring and show everyone their unique feminine style.

A heart diamond ring will also symbolize true love in a lasting relationship. When wearing a heart shaped diamond, the point should face you, so the heart is upright when you look at it. According to Irish tradition, this means that your heart is taken. If the point is facing away from you, it means that your heart is open to others.

A heart diamond shape is typically 10-20% less expensive than round brilliant diamonds. They are, however, generally more expensive than other fancy shapes because of the intricacy it takes to cut them.

If you have a budget, consider a lab created heart diamond. By shopping lab grown, you are getting a beautiful real diamond at an affordable price.

The rarity of fancy shaped diamonds contributes to their higher price, but it does not account for all aspects. As with any other diamond shape, the price of a heart diamond is dependent on the cut, color, clarity, and carat grades.

Because they have the same chemical composition and appearance as natural diamonds, both lab grown and mined heart shaped diamonds can be examined in the same way.

When comparing lab grown and mined heart diamonds, you will look for the same qualities in clarity, color, and carat. You can purchase lab created diamond engagement rings at a 20-30% lower price. In other words, there’s no reason to worry about their heart diamond being too small for the shape to be clear. Upgrading to a larger carat size will be well within your budget.

A lab grown heart shaped diamond is not only cheaper but more ethically sound than the mined alternative. Mined diamonds also emit harmful greenhouse gases into the air, negatively impacting Earth's many ecosystems.

At the end of the day, the lab grown heart shaped diamond ring is a passionate (and responsible) choice for anyone looking to buy an ethical, beautiful, and romantic diamond for their significant other.
