Company History[edit]
Hearts On Fire[1] was founded in Boston, Massachusetts, United States by couple Glenn and Susan Rothman. In 1996 they debuted their signature diamond cut, which has since been trademarked as “The World’s Most Perfectly Cut Diamond,” [2] due to its unique hearts and arrows pattern.
Hearts On Fire diamonds begin from the most optically pure and responsibly sourced raw materials and are perfected through exceptional craftsmanship and consistent precision. The result is a sparkle and brilliance unmatched in any other diamond.
Some of its signature collections include AERIAL (2022), VELA (2023), LU (2024) and BARRE (2024).
