What are Hearts & Arrows diamonds?
Hearts & Arrows diamonds are valued for their cutting precision and obviously uniqueness. These are round brilliant diamonds that have the facets of crown coincide with those of the pavilion. A Hearts & Arrows viewer is a tool that reflects optical symmetry. Looking through it one will see arrows radiating outward in the crown of a H&A diamond. And turn the diamond over to see a circle of hearts in the pavilion. All facets must be precisely aligned for the hearts and arrows to appear correctly. If any part of the diamond is asymmetric the patterns will appear uneven or distorted. A diamond is Hearts and Arrows does not automatically mean that it has Ideal proportions or necessarily has great brilliance.
