MM to CT / CT to MM Heart Shaped Diamond Size Comparison

There isn’t a lot of subtlety or hidden hints when it comes to the heart shaped diamond. It’s a clear and undeniable symbol of love that has been included  in the world of diamond manufacturing in the early 1900’s. However, despite the clear and simple meaning behind of the heart cut, the ability to accurately measure it and get reliable ct to mm weight conversion requires more sophistication than meets the eye. 

The good news is that most of the work has been done for you already, thanks to the following charts. Questions like what is the weight of a 3 Carat Heart Shaped Diamond in Millimetres? or How much is a 6.70 mm Heart Shape in Carats? All that and more is available, including guidelines for identifying and separating a great piece from a sub-par one. 

How to Accurately Measure a Heart Shaped Diamond

A common mistake that even professionals can make when measuring a heart cut diamond is starting by measuring the horizontal width, followed by the vertical length and then dividing it. This unfortunately leads to a reversed order in the ratio, and can lead to confusion and inaccuracies. 

As you can see by the image below, the ideal way to measure a heart shaped diamond is as followed, and how it is measured in GIA labs is as follows::

  1. Measure the Vertical Length.
  2. Measure of Horizontal Width.
  3. Divide the Length, with the Width.

What are the Ideal Proportions of a Heart Cut Diamond?

Heart Shaped Cut Diamond Size Chart 2

You will find it difficult to find a shape that is more reliant on the quality of its symmetry than the Heart Shaped Diamond. After all, an asymmetrical shape, will simply not look like a convincing heart. Each half of the stone should be as equal as possible, as well as have the elegance of rounded shoulders that stem from it being a modified brilliant round cut.
