References to heart shaped diamonds date back to the 15th century, when they appeared in European royal courts as symbols of affection and loyalty. Old cut heart shaped diamonds were often fashioned with softer outlines, higher crowns, smaller table facets and open culets, resulting in unique character and broader flashes of light than their modern counterparts. At Hancocks London, our collection of heart shape diamond rings and heart shaped diamond engagement rings is defined by the careful selection of exceptional old cut diamonds, including rare antique heart shaped diamonds, each chosen for their individuality and charm and set within both understated and more sculptural handcrafted designs.
