Heart-shaped diamond ring: How to buy and wear?

Traditionally, heart-shaped diamond rings are seen as symbols of everlasting love and companionship and have been used in marriage and engagement proposals since times immemorial. While diamonds come in innumerable shapes and sizes, the first thing that needs to be done before buying diamond jewelry is familiarizing oneself with the four Cs- Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat.

Cut: The diamond’s cut plays a major role in determining its value. While the most common is the round cut, there are various others, such as the emerald cut, the oval cut, and also the heartshaped cut, which has in recent times emerged as one of the most popular choices, as far as engagement rings are concerned.

Apart from the aesthetics, it has a lot to do with the cultural connotations attached to heart rings, seen as a major commitment in most modern-day relationships. Therefore, heart-shaped rings are popular not only because of the intricate craftsmanship; but because of all the things they signify and stand for.

Clarity: While each diamond has specific inclusions that are generally invisible to the human eye, due to the ever-busy market of counterfeit jewelry, it is indeed easy to be duped into overpaying for a diamond or buying a fake one altogether.

Carat: Most heart-shaped engagement rings are more than 1 carat, and traditionally the outlook with respect to diamond rings has been “the bigger the better”. However, in today’s world, most people live active lifestyles and work long hours and smaller, more portable diamonds that strike a balance between aesthetics and convenience have proved to be just as popular in recent times.

People today are more inclined to focus on the significance of the gift, specifically what it means to receive it from the person who he or she loves, rather than its size, or how big of an eye candy the stone is.

Color: While diamonds are generally colorless, some have subtle colored tones that are marked from D to Z, from transparent colorless stones to strongly colored fancies that are extremely rare and obviously of higher monetary value.

While the color of the diamond is a matter of personal choice, it influences the value of the stone to a great extent, and today heart-shaped gold rings of all sizes and colors are in demand all over the globe.

As most of them are used as engagement rings, each heart-shaped ring is seen less as an object, and more as a symbol with personalized stories and nostalgia attached. It would be accurate to say that a diamond ring is a lot more than just a piece of jewelry.

How to wear a heart-shaped diamond ring?

Once you do end up making the decision of buying a heart-shaped ring, the next question that might pop in your head is how exactly are you going to pull it off? While there is no right or wrong way to wear jewelry, wearing a heart-shaped ring requires some thinking.

First and foremost, the heart’s base must be pointed towards the person wearing it and not the other way around. While this helps the person see the ring with its heart exactly the way it is supposed to be, wearing it upside down has traditionally been looked at as a sign of single-hood.

Conversely, if you are indeed single, and still want to wear a heart-shaped ring, wearing the ring upside down is a great way of telling the world that you are looking for love, and are wearing the ring because you like it. Regardless, in most cases heart-shaped rings are worn by people who have already found their special someone, and the ring therefore acts as a token of love and commitment.

Finally, because of the inherent beauty of each piece, heart-shaped rings generally go with all kinds of outfits, and are further accentuated when combined with complementary colors that do not tamper with the sparkle of the ring, and allows it to stand out.

Today, there are innumerable designs available that feature non-bulky stones that work with formal attire as well, and can be worn by people with active working lifestyles. At the end of the day, wearing jewelry is a personal experience, and people must treat it as such.

To fall in line with social expectations attached to wearing jewelry must not be the aim. It should be to feel happy when it is worn, and wearing a heart-diamond ring given to you as a token of love by somebody you want to spend your life with is surely one of the happiest experiences you can have.
