This diamond shape is one of the hardest to come across and can be one of the most difficult to perfect. Essentially, the heart-shaped diamond is a pear cut with a cleft at the top. Many expert cutters may prefer the Heart shape over the Pear if the rough diamond contains a natural inclusion in the cleft.
This shape dates back to the 1400s when it was considered a symbol of royalty - it was known as the Pendeloque or Briolette cuts. In 1562, the Mary Queen of Scotts sent Queen Elizabeth a heart-shaped diamond ring: going down in history as one of the most notorious symbols of friendship and goodwill between royals.
At a similar time, nobleman Cardinal de Richelieu was known to own a 20-karat Heart cut ring which was given to him by a wealthy merchant. The heart shape diamond was destined for only the king.
This simple ring is perfectly minimalistic, it's beautiful yet elegant. Even with a smaller diamond, the white gold helps accentuate the size whilst being dainty.
This stunning ring is set with diamonds, maximising sparkle and gleam. Milena is inspired by the Slavic word for love and warmth: proving that this ring is very inviting and most definitely desirable.
Inspired by the Italian word for loyal, these Earrings and Pendant are a lovely set and will most definitely be a staple in your jewellery box for a long time! The perfect gift for a loved one on any occasion.
