Sorry this took so long to reply to; I didn't get it until after I had left for the show on day 3. If you want to set it yourself and have tools, I can probably get you a setting from any number of local places. If you don't have tools and you don't think your BF will be doing anything really hard on it (swimming, contact sports, etc) then you could probable get away with any one of a zillion snap-tite settings sold on ebay -- I've had good luck with Jamming Gems and Topako Mercantile. I'm not very fond of snap-tites because they're flimsy and they don't really tighten. However, the latter is not so much of a problem if the stone is slightly larger than the setting (so a 6mm heart, in your case). For my mom I set two topaz hearts in snap-tite earring settings a half-size down, and they've worked just fine.
By the by, I'm figuring you would want to set it as a pendant. Earrings are easy to come by as well. A ring might be more tricky, but I could probably find something if that's your intention.
