Larger cuts would result in a slightly lowered quality of fire and brilliance in the diamond. Gemologists even have the standard proportion in length-width ratio to create the perfect heart shaped diamond. The recommended ratio is 0.9:1.0 to have a balanced proportion making the diamond look superbly crafted along with 58 facets to compliment the brilliance and fire qualities of the diamond.
