Hi Everyone,

Can anyone tell me the best source for purchasing two heart shaped diamonds.  Looking to have a pendant made.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I would do a search on the various PS sites. I know that Whiteflash has some good ones!

Hi Researcher,

Thanks for your assistance.

I think about 1.5 carats and than a smaller heart shaped to sit on top of the larger one in a pendant.  So, it's important that the shape and quality is about the same.  Not sure was size the smaller stone should be, probably about a 1/4 of the size of the larger stone.

Wow, Researcher...

thanks a million, that should keep me busy for awhile.

How do you evaluate a heart shaped stone.  Guess I'll get an education on this one.  Seems this shape is not very popular.

Here's a link to a tool to determine the length/width ratio of heart shaped stones: Gem Appraisers

And here's a link to David Atlas's cut grading charts: Cut grading.

After clicking on the link, go to "old AGA cut grade charts and rules" on the left side. Select heart shaped stones.

No problem! I don't know much about heart shaped diamonds, but those links I provided should at least give you a starting point. Hopefully someone with a heart shaped diamond will chime in soon!
