18ct rose gold heart shape bezel-set 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 bezel setting holds the diamond in a smooth rim of metal instead of claws, for a sleek, secure ring.
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. The bezel traces the outline of the heart diamond in a clean line of metal.
Why a bezel setting?
A bezel wraps a smooth rim of metal right round the diamond instead of holding it with claws. It protects the edge of the stone, sits low on the finger and has nothing to catch on clothes or hair, so it suits an active life and everyday wear.
Why 18ct rose gold?
18ct rose gold is 75% pure gold, warmed to a soft pink by a little copper in the alloy. It is not plated, so the colour never wears off, and it is slightly harder than yellow gold. Some of our rose gold designs set the diamond in a white platinum head for the whitest look, with the pink band around it. For a lower price, see our 9ct rose gold engagement rings.
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.
The metal rim covers the very edge of the stone, so it can look a touch smaller than in claws. In return the diamond is fully protected, and the clean frame gives a crisp, modern outline.
No. The colour comes from the copper in the alloy, all the way through the metal, so there is no plating to wear off. If anything, rose gold warms slightly with age.
