A guide to choosing heart shaped engagement rings
The heart shaped engagement ring is still the favorite among many couples who are getting married. There is something to be said of having the ring to present the love that a couple share. A heart shaped engagement ring can say ‘I love you’ in a much clearer way than any other shape for a ring. When buying such a ring, there are a couple of thing you should note to avoid any disappointment with your purchase.
Heart shape diamonds are actually cut from pear shaped diamonds. How well the heart shape looks depends a lot of the cutter and this what you are actually paying. The cost for an experienced cutter will add significantly to the prices you will be paying but the additional money is worth it as the diamond will look more brilliant than otherwise. To reduce the amount that you need to pay, go for smaller diamonds so that the majority of your cost goes into paying for the skills of the cutter, rather than the size of the diamond.
A well cut heart shape diamond is symmetrical. The dimensions from the edges to the center of the heart should be equal across both the ‘shoulders’ of the heart. Such a heart shape ring tend to be more valuable in the long run. Besides symmetric dimensions, you should also look out for the following: (i) the point should be centered with respect to the two lobes, (ii) the point should be sharp rather than have a rounded edge, (iii) a clear bow tie shadow that will accentuate the heart shape of the diamond.
Finally, you need to select the right wedding band to set your heart shape diamond in. The most common materials used are gold and platinum. For people who like understated beauty, platinum is more suitable. For people who likes a bit of flare in their rings, gold can be a good choice. Ultimately, it all depends on your style preference. Both materials have similar costs and should not make much difference to your budget.
