The heart shape is the most overtly romantic diamond cut — a modified brilliant with a distinctive cleft at the top. It requires exceptional cutting skill to achieve symmetrical proportions and balanced lobes. Heart shaped diamonds are a bold, meaningful choice for those who want their engagement ring to make a romantic statement.

A halo setting surrounds the centre diamond with a border of smaller pavé diamonds, creating a frame of light that makes the centre stone appear 20–30% larger. Halo settings add vintage character and maximum sparkle, catching light from every angle.

Under £2,000, you can find a 1ct lab-grown diamond engagement ring in your choice of metal and setting style. This price point represents the most popular budget for lab-grown diamond engagement rings — genuine luxury without compromise.
