One Carat Heart Shaped Diamond Ring

The One Carat Heart Shaped Diamond Ring can actually be a more popular choice of men than women. It is considered to be a very romantic one carat diamond ring shape. It is similiar to the Pear shaped diamond, however it has a cleft in the rounded end of the diamond that creates the form of the heart shaped lobes.

The setting for a heart shaped diamond is also similiar to a pear shaped one carat diamond ring. It should consist of 5 prongs. 2 prongs should be placed on the lobes of the heart shape, 2 prongs should be placed on the sides of the diamond, and 1 "V" shaped prong should be placed at the point of the heart shaped diamond. This will help protect the point which is considered to be the most vulnerable part of the one carat diamond ring.

A very famous heart shaped diamond is the "Blue Heart Diamond". It is an extremely rare deep blue color and weighs 30.82 metric carats. This diamond has also been referred to as the "Eugenie Blue". The French Diamond Cutting firm of Atanik Ekyanan of Neuilly, Paris cut the heart shape in 1909 to 1910. The date raises the question of whether the diamond came from Africa or India.

In 1959 Harry Winston Bought the diamond, and sold it five years later to Marjorie Merriweather Post. Mrs. Post donated the diamond to the Smithsonian Institute, where it still resides today.
