Hearts and Arrows: The Perfect Craftsmanship
In the world of diamonds, true brilliance goes beyond sparkle. It lies in precision, symmetry, and intention within every facet.
Hearts and Arrows is the visual pattern found in diamonds that are cut with exceptional accuracy. When viewed under a special scope, a perfectly cut Hearts and Arrows diamond reveals eight symmetrical hearts from the pavilion, or bottom, and eight sharp arrows from the crown, or top. It stands as a symbol of extraordinary craftsmanship and light returned in perfect harmony.
What Are Hearts and Arrows Diamonds?
Hearts and Arrows patterns appear only when a round brilliant diamond is cut to near-perfect proportions. Every angle must be exact, and every facet must align with precision.
When this level of artistry is achieved, the diamond does more than shine. It comes alive with balance, symmetry, and emotional depth. It reflects light in the most efficient and beautiful way possible, creating an unforgettable display of brilliance, fire, and scintillation.
Perfect and Imperfect Hearts and Arrows
Many jewelers describe their diamonds as Hearts and Arrows based solely on proportions. In truth, not all diamonds meet the strict visual standard required for a true Hearts and Arrows cut.
A genuine Hearts and Arrows diamond must display the following qualities:
- Eight clearly defined hearts, uniform in shape and spacing, with no overlap or distortion
- Eight symmetrical arrows, sharp and centered, visible from the top
- Clean edges with strong contrast and no blur or asymmetry
