Platinum heart shape solitaire engagement rings, handmade to order by our family workshop in the Cotswolds and set with a diamond you choose yourself. The heart shape is the most romantic diamond of all, a brilliant cut with a clear cleft and a neat point. A solitaire holds one diamond on a clean band, so all the attention goes to the stone.

The heart shape diamond
The heart is a brilliant cut with a cleft at the top and a point at the bottom. It takes real skill to cut well, and a well-cut heart has a clear outline, even lobes and plenty of sparkle. With a heart diamond, a solitaire shows off the full outline of the stone.
Why a solitaire?
A solitaire is the purest engagement ring: one diamond on a plain band, with nothing to compete with the stone. It never dates, lets more light into the diamond than any other setting, and sits easily beside almost any wedding ring.
Why platinum?
We use 950 platinum, hallmarked in the UK. It is about 95% pure, so it is naturally white all the way through and never needs re-plating. It is heavier than gold and very hard-wearing: rather than wearing away, the metal moves over time and takes on a soft satin look, which a quick polish brings back to a high shine. It is also the best choice if you have sensitive skin.
Choosing your heart diamond
Choose a diamond of at least half a carat, as the heart outline is hard to see on smaller stones. A ratio close to 1.00 keeps the shape balanced. Hearts can hold colour in their lobes, so G to H is a good choice.
Choose your own diamond
Every ring is set with a centre diamond you choose yourself, natural or lab-grown, from our live stock. Each stone has its grading report, and the ring page shows the finished price before you buy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Half a carat or more. Below that, the cleft and lobes are hard to see once the stone is set, and it can look more like a round.
Yes. A plain wedding band sits neatly beside most solitaires, and if the setting sits low, a shaped band fits around it. Our wedding ring designer makes matching plain bands.
All precious metals mark with wear. Platinum moves rather than wearing away, so it keeps its weight and holds the diamond securely. Over time it takes on a soft satin finish, and we can polish it back to a bright shine whenever you like.
