The heart shape is a romantic and unique cut, often used in engagement rings and other romantic jewelry. The heart shape is achieved by cutting a gemstone with a series of symmetrically placed facets, which create a heart-shaped outline with a point at the bottom and a cleft at the top. The number of facets and the positioning of each facet can vary, which can affect the brilliance and fire of the gemstone. A well-cut heart-shaped gemstone will have a symmetrical outline and good proportions, with no bulges or irregularities. This cut is popular for its romantic symbolism and is often given as a gift to loved ones or used in special occasion jewelry.
