What shape do you have?

I am thinking of a heart shape for my own. Also if you had a heart shape how would you wear it? heart facing you or away for everyone to see?

I fall into the don't have one yet, but I love radiant cuts, esp. w/ yellow diamonds!

If I got an actual e-ring and not just a fancy band (an all in one, I dislike high settings and rings w/ prongs), similar to the Perfect Murder Ring in another thread, I'd go for a radiant.

i was actually interested in a higher prong set that lifted the diamond off the band. seems like more light would get in it lol.. but i think thats just for a round or princess

I noticed you added some notes after some of the choices. While I agree that the round is classic, I don't think the princess is timeless. It seems to be a trendy shape right now, time will only tell what it will become :)

I think someone just recently posted a photo of heart shaped diamond. Personally I'd want it facing me, lol. But maybe its supposed to face the right way to everyone else? I'm not sure about that one.

I always thought princess was timeless due to its name. I could be wrong or am wrong =)

I had this heart shape convo with my bf yesterday and hes like well i'm going to get you a heart shape oneday and you can spend the rest of your life figuring out which way to wear it lol.. i thought that was cute yet cruel since i cant make up my mind which way i like it.

I'm in love with my emerald cut. It sparkes differently than a round brilliant does - more flashes than sparkles. My wedding band will be rounds so that I'll have the best of both worlds!

I have a RB. If I made a change or bought an additional ring, it would be a cushion.

Cushion with princess sidestones and princesses set into the band.

Sinniebunnie, setting the stone up higher won't make a difference, the most important factor is having a very well cut stone, which to me is more important than any other aspect in the diamond. Good luck on your diamond search!
