Before deciding on the gem, make sure that the lobes are symmetrical and the diamond is uniformly cut. A rough cut can give the heart a twitched look. The point of the heart should be sharp and not round. Apart from a balanced cut, S12 clarity and G color are other factors to be considered. The gem can be either elongated or fat. Three to five prongs can be used to secure the heart into the metal cast. Using four prongs is common. Some such designs may have baguettes on the sides of the heart.
