The Heart-Shaped Diamond is considered the most romantic of all diamond cuts. Heart-Shaped diamonds are also considered ‘brilliants’, because they are cut with triangular and kite-shaped facets, causing light to ‘dance’ when reflected back. A Heart-Shaped Diamond generally contains 59 facets, and is cut much the same way that a Pear-Shaped Diamond is. Often, a diamond cutter will cut a Heart-Shaped Diamond because the cleft at the top of the heart is a way of cutting out inclusions without losing carat weight.
