Hello, everyone! Welcome back to our By Bonnie blog, your go-to destination for all things diamonds! You know what gets me really, really excited? When I sense your eagerness to discover something special. Lately, I've received tons of requests from you lovely folks, all asking, "Bonnie, can I see a heart-shaped diamond?" Well, today is your lucky day!
I'm not just going to showcase an absolutely stunning heart-shaped pendant, but I'll also be sharing three valuable tips on how to choose the perfect heart-shaped diamond, whether it's for a ring, pendant, or any other piece, ensuring you make the right decision.
Tip number one, and this is the biggie – when it comes to heart-shaped diamonds, it's not so much about the color or the clarity, but all about that heart-shaped shape! You see, you don't want your heart to resemble a potato. Nope, what you're after is a heart-shaped diamond that truly looks like a heart. Now, the fun part is, that different folks have different preferences when it comes to the exact shape of the heart. It's all about what speaks to your heart, pun intended!
In our case, we hunted down a genuinely authentic heart shape diamond – a real showstopper. We had the choice between two and two and a half carats, but as soon as I laid eyes on the bigger stone, it was a no-brainer. There was absolutely no going back to a smaller size. And hey, remember, when it comes to necklaces, the more substantial, the better, right?
Now, let's talk tip number two, especially if you're considering a necklace like the gorgeous one we're showcasing here. You see, my client had a clear vision – she wanted pure elegance with nothing distracting from that stunning heart-shaped centerpiece. And that's where the length of the chain comes into play.
Here's the scoop: standard chain sizes are typically 16 or 18 inches. But in our case, we went with 15 inches. Why, you ask? Well, my client is petite-framed, and she wanted that heart-shaped beauty to sit just right where it catches all the attention. The beauty of this length is its versatility.
You can wear it solo for that timeless classic look, but you're also all set to layer it up with different necklaces whenever the mood strikes. It's all about having options and making it your own!
Point number three, folks, and this one's a real gem – don't skimp on the color! Now, I'm talking about color in the context of colorless diamonds, as that's what we're dealing with here. Of course, there are dazzling yellow diamonds and various other colored diamonds out there, but for that perfect heart shape, it's wise not to go too low on the color scale.
Why, you ask? Well, certain fancy shapes tend to showcase color a bit more prominently. Now, the heart shape we're admiring here is colorless, and it's absolutely stunning. But if you're aiming for that pristine, icy white look, my advice is to be a little more lenient on the clarity.
In the grand scheme of things, if I had to pick between prioritizing color or clarity on a heart-shaped diamond, I'd definitely give color the top spot, followed by shape, and then clarity. Your heart deserves nothing but the best, right?
Now, for the bonus bonus tip, let's get to the secret sauce that made this pendant an absolute stunner. Honestly, I've got to say it's the craftsmanship of the piece that truly takes it from ordinary to extraordinary. Let me break it down for you – if you ever told me, "Hey, I'm on the hunt for a heart-shaped diamond pendant, and I'll just go online and source the diamond myself," well, hold your horses. There's a lot more to it than meets the eye.
When you're scrolling through online videos, it's tough to truly grasp what the heart shape looks like. Sure, you can get a general idea, but there's so much depth and variation in how the cut and sparkle can turn out. That's where the curation process comes into play – having a keen eye to evaluate different heart-shaped diamonds is key to finding the perfect one.
But here's the real magic – it's the craftsmanship of the piece itself. We handmade this pendant to ensure it perfectly cradles the heart-shaped diamond, wrapping around its unique contours like a glove.
Now, if you take a peek at the back of this pendant, you'll see the custom-made perfection continues. It's shaped to match the heart's contours both front and back, and the chain attachment is seamless. The result? An absolutely amazing heart-shaped diamond pendant that I know many of you have been eagerly waiting for. It's all about satisfying your diamond desires!
