This is another very unique and special design. Please feel free to find a heart shaped diamond solitaire engagement ring that both suits your style and fits your budget.

What better way to symbolize your ever lasting love than with a diamond in the shape of a heart. Heart shaped diamond solitaire engagement rings are among the most interesting and unique options available today, when proposing to someone. Still just because they look different, does not mean that most normal diamond rules still do not apply.

Heart shaped diamonds are among the most difficult for jewelers to cut. Thus, they are not that common, even though many people would love to have one. Is there anything more romantic that getting a diamond in a shape that is the epitome of love itself? Unfortunately, as you will see above they are also quite expensive.

The reason is simple economics, many people want heart shaped diamond solitaire engagement rings and there aren't that common. This means jewelers and jewelry stores in general can charge a lot more per carat of heart shaped diamonds compared to round shaped ones. So if you want to save money you are best to look elsewhere.

If you are still reading I assume you recognize that while a heart shaped diamond ring may cost more, the fact that it is so special more than makes up for this fact. You can get them with stones in a variety of different length to width ratios. The standard ratio for this type of cut is between 0.90 and 1.10.

What this means is that you can get gems in which the width is slightly greater than the length to even to the length being slightly longer than the width. In practical terms, this means that you can buy rings with a chubbier look to ones with a more elongated elegant one. Thus people with shorter fingers should opt for a lower ratio and those with longer fingers should go with greater length.

Another important thing to be aware of is the way in which color affects your diamond engagement ring. Like all diamonds heart shaped stones are measured on a scale from D to Z, with D being totally colorless. However, you need to know that heart shaped diamonds show off their color more than other cuts, like the round or princess cut.

This means that if you buy a lower color graded stone, it will be really obvious (and not in a good way). You will notice coloring around the edges and you may not appreciate the look as much. So, you should always opt for the highest color rating you can afford with this type of diamond because it is so important. A smaller, better quality diamond will always look better than a large ugly one.

With all this in mind please feel free to have a look at our listings above. The stock changes daily so if you don't see something you like today you can always come back later. I am sure you will be able to find that perfect heart shaped diamond solitaire engagement ring, hopefully at a price you can afford. Once, you do it will always remain a reminder of that special day where you asked the one you love to marry you.
