How Heart-Shaped Diamonds Became Popular

Diamonds have been associated with romance and enduring love for decades. While the classic round diamond engagement ring remains timeless, other cuts have also captured the hearts of couples seeking something truly unique to commemorate their bond. Among these is the heart-shaped diamond cut, combining the diamond’s exquisite nature with an iconic symbol of love that has been cherished throughout history.

The Heart-Shaped Diamond: a Timeless Symbol of Love

The heart shape has emerged and occurred as a meaningful symbol across multiple cultures, spanning civilisations and millennia. However, the association we have today between the heart shape and love and devotion can be specifically traced back to the Middle Ages in Europe. During this period, chivalry and courtly love were celebrated, and expressions of affection became increasingly important. It was in this romantic and sentimental context that the heart shape took root as a universal sign of love.

This association would continue for centuries before getting a major boost in prominence during the Victorian era. This was a time when sentiments and emotions were openly expressed through art, literature, and fashion. Sentimental heart-shaped jewellery, often adorned with precious gemstones like diamonds, became immensely popular. Diamonds, with their enduring qualities, were particularly cherished as symbols of everlasting love.

It was in this backdrop of Victorian romanticism that the heart-shaped diamond emerged as a symbol of deep and enduring love. The unique cut of the diamond, with its distinctive heart shape, perfectly captured the romantic ideals of the time. These diamonds were used to create exquisite pieces of jewellery, including engagement rings and pendants, which became cherished tokens of affection exchanged between lovers.

The Say Love™ Diamond: a Contemporary Classic

Today, heart-shaped diamonds continue to hold a special place in the world of fine jewellery. They remain a timeless and romantic choice for custom engagement rings, wedding bands, and other expressions of love. The heart-shaped diamond, with its rich history and profound symbolism, serves as a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend time and connect generations with a shared symbol of affection and devotion.

However, by nature of its unorthodox shape and cut, those who prefer more understated or traditional cuts may hesitate to fully commit to a heart-shaped diamond. That’s where Love & Co.’s Say Love™ Diamond comes in to fill that gap, bridging traditional symbolism with contemporary romance.
