The most perfect cut diamond in the universe.
It comes as a visual pattern of 8 hearts while looking down through the pavilion and 8 arrows when viewing the stone in the table up position. A special magnifying viewer is used to show this phenomenon.
Only the perfect cut and polished diamond gives the desired result of "H&A" effect
What truly makes these diamonds so remarkable is the amount of light they produce. A complete 'Hearts & Arrows' pattern has an average light return of 98%. The 8 arrows visibile from the crown side are the 8 pavilon main facets, while the 8 hearts visible through the pavilion side are created by reflection of 16 lower girdle facets, in the table of the stone.
One can see why all the facets must be exactly the same shape and size. If the cut of the diamond is even slightly asymmetrical, the result will be a distorted, crooked, uneven or incomplete pattern.
Few manufacturers around the globe have the necessary knowledge, skill and the ability to polish the perfect diamond with the special hearts and arrows optical effect.
