What carat size is best for a heart shaped diamond?

We recommend a minimum of 0.70ct for a heart shaped diamond so the distinctive heart silhouette is clearly visible. At 1ct and above, the shape becomes particularly striking and recognisable.

What is the difference between side stone and halo engagement rings?

Side stone rings have small diamonds along the band but not surrounding the centre stone. Halo rings have a complete frame of diamonds around the centre. Side stone designs offer extra sparkle with a cleaner, more streamlined look.

Heart Shaped Side Stone Engagement Rings

6 handcrafted designs · Hatton Garden, London

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.

Side stone settings feature smaller diamonds set along the band, adding sparkle and visual interest that draws the eye from the centre stone outward. Popular configurations include pavé, channel-set, and shared-prong designs.
