Heart Shape Diamond Engagement Ring with Halo and Shoulder Diamonds 0.50 Ct

A heart shaped diamond ring is more than a piece of jewellery—it’s an emotion cast in gold. The heart cut isn’t just unique; it’s symbolic. Representing love, devotion, and passion, it’s the perfect shape for an engagement ring or a gift from the heart (pun intended).

What sets this cut apart is its bold design. It takes precision to shape a diamond into a heart while preserving brilliance and symmetry. The cleft must be well-defined, the lobes evenly rounded, and the point sharp—but not fragile. When done right, like in this Ernesto Buono piece, the result is captivating.

Unlike round, princess, or cushion cuts that emphasise light performance, the heart shape adds that emotional flair. It’s ideal for romantics, individualists, and those who want their ring to make a statement. Pairing it with round brilliant accent stones, as seen in this ring, only amplifies its sparkle and charm.

Both, actually! Traditionally associated with romantic gestures, the heart shaped diamond ring makes a stunning engagement ring for couples who dare to be different. It’s not as commonly chosen as solitaires or halos, which makes it stand out—and that’s part of its appeal.

For engagement, this ring says, “I love you” in the most literal and dazzling way possible. It’s ideal for someone who values symbolism, uniqueness, and a bit of drama in their jewellery.

On the flip side, it’s also a fabulous fashion ring. It works beautifully for anniversaries, milestone birthdays, or as a token of self-love. You don’t need to be engaged to wear your heart on your hand.

At Ernesto Buono, we craft heart shaped rings that balance boldness and refinement. With natural diamonds and a luxurious 18kt white gold setting, this ring transitions effortlessly from proposal to everyday glamour.

A heart shaped diamond ring is a showstopper—it deserves to be the centre of attention. That said, it plays well with others if styled mindfully. Start by keeping your metals consistent; since this ring is set in 18kt white gold, pair it with other white gold pieces for a cohesive look.

Minimalist bands or eternity rings make great companions without overwhelming the heart motif. You could match it with our Round Brilliant Eternity Ring or a dainty white gold tennis bracelet.

Want to dial it up for evening wear? Add sparkle with white gold drop earrings or a diamond pendant. Keep your neckline simple so the ring remains the star of your ensemble.

Great question—cut quality is everything with heart shaped diamonds. Poorly proportioned hearts can look flat, too wide, or off-centre. A well-cut heart diamond will display symmetrical lobes, a clear cleft at the top, and a clean, sharp point at the base.

The best heart shapes are those with a length-to-width ratio between 0.9 and 1.1—this keeps the shape balanced. Look for a polished, well-faceted surface that reflects light evenly. When paired with high-clarity round diamonds, as in this Ernesto Buono ring, the heart really pops.

Buying from a trusted jeweller ensures the highest quality. At Ernesto Buono, our GIA-certified diamonds undergo strict vetting. We also offer personalised consultations so you can view the cut and brilliance for yourself—book an appointment here.

To keep your heart shaped diamond ring sparkling, regular maintenance is key. Start with a gentle weekly clean—soak the ring in warm water with mild dish soap and use a soft toothbrush to remove dirt. Pay special attention to the cleft and point of the heart, where residue tends to gather.

Rinse thoroughly, pat dry with a soft cloth, and avoid tissue paper, which can scratch the surface. Store the ring in a separate compartment or pouch to prevent it from bumping into other jewellery.

Avoid wearing it during workouts, cleaning, or while applying lotions and perfumes. Chemicals and rough handling can damage the diamond’s brilliance or the gold’s polish over time.

For extra sparkle and safety, bring it into our boutique annually for a professional clean and check-up. We’ll ensure the prongs are secure and the diamond is in top shape.
