Considered a modified brilliant-cut shape, the heart-shaped cut is a popular engagement ring setting often featured in solitaire rings. Heart-shaped cuts should be symmetrical so that each of the heart’s curved halves matched identically. The clefts in the heart should also be precise and well defined. And of course the shape must resemble a traditional heart shape. It is a complex cut made up of five areas: the belly, cleft, lobe, point and wing.
