Cute or just dorky?
Cute or just dorky?
Anyone have one? Are you pleased with it?
I find them very beautiful. But just wondering if it’d get old after a while since it’s a common shape.
Something like this:

I initially liked it, but the more I looked at them the more I started thinking that they reminded me of high school puppy love… you should look at rings that will withstand trends. This is probably why solitaires are so popular.. they never go out of style!
If you like it though, that’s all that really matters. My advice would be to really think about it before making a commitment… after all, you only get one ring. If you’re already questioning it now, then you definitely need to go try some more on and see if it feels like “you”.
Good luck
I don’t like them unless you are in highschool and it’s not an engagement ring.
At first glance it looked pretty but will you still love it in 10 years…
I don’t like it. It looks promise-ringy.
Personally, I really dislike them. It doesn’t look sophisticated to me and a diamond should be sophisticated.
I FIND IT VERY CUTE BUT THERES HEARTS EVERYWHERE AND MOST OF ALL YEAH THEY DNT GO OUT OF STYLE BUT U ONLY GET ONE NOT TWO TRY LOOKING TRU OTHER JEWERLY STORES IM SURE U WILL FIND SUMTHING UNIQUE THAT U LIKE AND DAT U WONT SEE IT ON EVERYGIRLS HAND (HEARTS)
I do agree with the others who say its very much of a promise ring more than an engagement ring.
It is pretty unique though. My co-worker got a ring just like this one for her 20th anniversary and she loves it.
I think rings just like other accessories are a personal preference.
So if you see yourself wearing it and loving it for years to come -than go for it.
I think they’re a little bit corny. Heart-shaped anything isn’t my style. I prefer brilliant, princess, or cushion-cut diamonds.
Don’t like them for an engagement ring. It doesn’t seem formal enough. I’d wear a heart-shaped stone ring though just for an occasion.
I wouldn’t like it. Here’s why. I have a round diamond set in a filigree bezel set. I didn’t pay very close attention when I picked the setting from the jeweler’s catalog. What I didn’t see (until the ring was done) was that the filigree on the side of the setting forms a cutesy heart shape. Every time I look at it I think, “gee that’s kind of insipid, isn’t it?” I don’t really like it, but I don’t hate it enough to want to spend the time or the money fixing it. I think I would feel the same way about a heart shaped diamond.
I have a heart shaped engagement ring, we haven’t picked out the band, yet, and are still deciding to get a wrap or just a band.
I LOVE my ring, everyone comments on the shape and the cut he picked out is so beautiful and bright. When he proposed, he opened the ring and said, ‘if I gave you my heart, would you wear it forever?”
and I swear to never get sick or take this thing off!! lol
I think they are beautiful and can be complimented very nicely. I’ve never seen anyone with a heart shaped before so I feel original for the stone that I have. I say, GO FOR IT! It symbolizes the love you have for each other and it’s not an every day cut.
It doesn’t matter what we think - if you like it you should get it! You’re the one who will be wearing it. A lot of women upgrade their rings after a decade or so. If you don’t like it in 10 years you could upgrade to a different cut and/or have the heart-shaped diamond reset into a necklace or something.
Personally, I don’t like it. Heart rings are not my style. But, it is your decision. Your the one who has to wear it.
I don’t know, I personally think it’s a bit too cutesy for me. But seriously, it’s YOUR ring… If you like it then that’s all that matters.
Don’t let people give you flack for what you want. I actually had a ‘friend’ get ANGRY with me because I had mentioned that I wanted a princess cut engagement ring. “Blah Blah Princess and Emerald cuts are for gemstones, not DIAMONDS.” Ugh.
Luckily, when my fiance was ready to pop the question, he went to another friend of mine to help him pick something I’d like. And I love it!
*I* love it.
God willing, you’ll have this ring on your finger for the rest of your life. Don’t go with something simple and cookie-cutter just because you don’t want to regret it.
Go with something you’ll be happy looking at for the rest of your life. If that’s traditional and classy, great. If it’s modern and edgy, wonderful. If it’s sweet and heart-shaped, that’s great too. Just know what you want and go for it.
its cute as like a gift not a wedding or engagement ring that i would have to wear everyday. maybe even a promise ring like for teenagers/young adults but its way to common for a wedding ring
I really don’t like them at all. These diamonds are some of the lowest quality diamonds out there and uh. It’s a cute idea for a promise ring, but I think it’s a little immature for an engagement ring.
but that’s just my opinion. If you like it go for it!
I have two heart shaped stones, a peridot (my birthstone) and a garnet (my husband’s birthstone) in a bypass ring as my engagement ring….the diamonds are accents only. I don’t particularly like diamonds, and prefer stones of color or ones that have a significance to me…..
If anyone ever made comment on my ring being ‘cute’ or too ‘promise ring’ looking (it isn’t, in fact it’s very unique and sophisticated looking as he had it custom made for me) my comment would be “It’s my finger, not yours.”
The ring is very, very pretty….the heart as a stone shape is pretty and sentimental, it represents the emotion of love and endearment in a way that other cuts don’t….it also tends to cost more for the cut is more labor intensive than other cuts.
Enjoy your heart shaped stone and never mind what anyone else thinks…..it’s YOUR finger….good luck.
It’s not my style, I much prefer the classic shapes like the round (which is what I have) or even an emerald cut, that’s kind of antique looking in my mind. But I’m sure there are some women that have their hearts set on a heart-shaped diamond for their engagement. And more power to them!
The one you have linked to is very simple and elegant, and while I wouldn’t want it for a wear-forever-everyday engagement ring, it would hard to turn down such a lovely piece of jewelry.
I would never wear one. This shape is for a very young woman, and I think with time she’ll regret the shape. I’ve known 2 women who wore a ring with the heart shaped diamond - one was very young and the other in her early 60s. It was OK (not great) for the young woman and looked really odd on the older woman.
I think they would be pretty, but for a ring that you will wear for a lifetime, I would personally want something a little more traditional, something that seems a little more classic
Now I like SOME of them - just don’t happen to like the solitaire heart shape. And the heart shape diamond isn’t common at all! I’ve actually never seen one in person on a woman!
My ring happens to have a round brilliant, my husband chose it.
However, now after being married a while — and especially having the time to do searches for rings for other posters on here, I’ve come across some really beautiful heart theme rings - and they are totally elegant and classic, very pretty.
One thing that you have to be careful with, too, is being able to find a wedding band which matches/fits/suits the heart shape. That said, a set is usually better to go with.
Some I like -
LOL on this price, tho -

After lots of looking, THIS would be my choice! Coloured gemstones. Either for engagement, or as a dress ring, actually - I think it’s gorgeous!
