Heart Shaped Diamond. Which should I buy?

[Diamond BFF]

Hello!

Would love some opinions on which of these has the least amount of bow tie effect. I am going to have a single stud made for a 3rd ear piercing I have. Thanks in advance for your opinions!

I can’t get them to rotate. I have a .50 carat heart from B2C.

The Prices are too high, but if you want to choose between these two, I would say, Go with E VS1

I agree the prices are high.

Would anyone recommend other vendors or be willing to share what a more reasonable price range would be ? (I don’t think this would violate any Pricescope forum rules). I had a good experience with this company in the past but not married to the idea of buying from them. Thanks for the honest feedback

What is your budget and preferred size?

Here are just a few to check out from blue nile. They have a pretty good selection and the prices seem pretty good too.

Thanks for the examples, the .30 ct looks great. I will look into Blue Nile

Thanks for all the opinions and info! Upon the general consensus that I was paying too much. I decided to go with a slightly cheaper stone.https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/heart-shaped/0.30-carat-i-color-vvs2-clarity-sku-4562592 I will also add that I shopped around and a local jeweler quoted $100 less than James Allen to set the stone (using same material)

It arrived! Sitting next to a G colored .55 round stud for size comparison (heart is .30). I think I prefer the warmer I colored Heart. Size wise it is bigger than I expected and I may add a 2nd piercing to my other ear ( more room on that side!). Either way - will send updated pic when I get this in a setting.

Sorry this took so long! Finally got it set at a local jeweler. I also bought a tiny emerald cut and had it set as well. I really love the look of the tiny heart as an second earlobe piercing. Yes - due to the small size it looks like a round stone from far away but it’s so adorable. Both were set in 18k white gold. The process of picking out stones / having custom jewelry made is so addicting!

I can only echo my comments in your other thread - you've created a great look with some excellent diamonds

I love the prongs, really nice job on those too!
