Heart diamond GIA report help

[Katia]

I have received my heart diamond and I guess I am after a little feedback regarding the GIA report. It doesn’t state the length to width ratio nor a few other specs that other shaped diamonds include.

I know it is hard to tell the quality of the diamond based of photos and a GIA report but can we try?

Apparently the ideal ratio is a 1 and I’m pretty sure mine is a 1.1 does that make much of a difference visibly?

8.28/7.55 = 1.0966 ratio.
Hearts are judged by how they look, not numbers.
Do you like the outline? If so its just fine.
It looks like its pretty bright in the pics, may be just a tab dark very very close from obstruction. Probably to close to matter.

I agree with Karl- with a heart shape, it's completely visual.
Charts that purport to tell us which LxW ratio is "right" are full of bunk. There's far too much opinion involved.
Some people love a squatty hearts- some love tall ones- neither is wrong.
In terms of proportions, heart-shaped diamonds can really surprise you. Sometimes a really shallow stone looks great- other times not.
The cleavage is another variable.
None of these are the type of characteristics that should ever be standardized IMO.
Variety is the spice of life
IMO the pictures show a very classic, distinct shape- and many people will find that pleasing.

I really depends on what you like. I like a chubby heart, somewhere in the .8-.9 range. But yours looks very nice!
