What size should a heart shaped diamond be?

We generally suggest one carat or larger, because the distinctive outline of a heart is harder to read clearly in very small stones.

What matters most in a heart shaped diamond?

Symmetry — the two halves should mirror each other and the cleft should be sharp and centred. Every VHENY heart is selected on this first.

Heart Shaped Diamonds

The heart is a brilliant cut and the most openly romantic of all shapes — a technically demanding stone whose two lobes must be perfectly symmetrical for the outline to read cleanly.

Each heart in the collection is certified and chosen for that symmetry. Hearts show best from around one carat upward, where the shape is easiest to appreciate.
