A Symbol of Love: The Heart-Shaped Diamond Ring

There are numerous myths surrounding Cupid, but one thing that is well recognised about him is that he made people—and even Gods—fall in love with the aid of his skillfully directed arrows. Did you know that Cupid possessed two distinct kinds of arrows? A blunt-headed arrow with a gold head was used to make people dislike one another, while a gold arrowhead studded with diamonds would make people fall in love. 

Given that the diamond-studded arrowhead caused individuals to fall in love, the connection to the diamond engagement ring is formed immediately. Add a heart shape to the mix and you get an unparalleled paragon of love. 

Throughout history, heart-shaped diamonds have been highly sought after due to their elegance, beauty and, of course, symbolism. The ultimate representation of passion and emotion, they are sure to captivate those who want to wear their hearts on their fingers. 

If you are looking to propose or declare your love to your significant other, a heart-shaped diamond ring is a great way to go! As this romantic cut requires expert craftsmanship, it is a rare beauty among diamonds that only a select few will be able to own and appreciate up close. 

When looking for the perfect heart-shaped diamond ring, always pay attention to its symmetry. The heart diamond’s two parts should be of the same size and form. The diamond’s cleft, or the point in the centre between the two rounded halves, should be noticeable, while the diamond’s sides, also known as its wings, should be somewhat rounded.
