We often get questions about Hearts On Fire diamonds. What makes them so special? Are they really different from other diamonds? Are they more expensive? Well we are here to answer those questions for you!

Are they more expensive than other diamonds?

This is probably one of the questions we get asked the most. Let us ask you this, do you pay more for ground beef or a steak? Why do you pay more for a steak when ground beef is made of the same thing? Some would argue that steak tastes better, it’s higher quality beef.  Just because two things are made of the same material does not mean they are of the same quality. Now take that steak and give it to a mediocre chef and they will make you a steak. Or you can give that steak to an amazing chef and they will make you a meal that is out of this world.

Not only does Hearts On Fire use a minuscule fraction (less than one tenth of one percent) of the Earth’s knot-free and transparent crystals, the diamonds are cut by only the most skilled and patient diamond cutters in the world. On average, a 1 carat diamond takes approximately 2 hours to cut by machine, where as Hearts On Fire diamonds take 8 hours to cut and polish by hand. Combine high quality material with men and women who are highly skilled at what they do and you end up with what we would argue is as close to pure perfection. The higher the quality of an item, regardless of what it is, the higher the cost.  Cut makes a diamond more valuable. Hearts On Fire has the highest standards for cut quality in the industry.

Where do Hearts On Fire diamonds come from?

The simple answer to this question is to tell you that like all diamonds, they come from the Earth! But I am sure that is not exactly what you meant with that question. There is no specific region where Hearts On Fire diamonds come from. This is because of the small fraction of diamonds that meet the standards of Hearts On Fire.
