Hearts & Arrows

Scope:

The Hearts & Arrows Scope is employed to assess the optical symmetry of a diamond. Optical symmetry pertains to how light reflects internally within the diamond, showcasing the precision of its angles and proportions, indicative of superior craftsmanship. When observed through the Hearts & Arrows scope, diamonds display a distinctive pattern of "Hearts" when viewed from the pavilion (face-down) and "Arrows" when viewed from the table-up position.

History:

The Hearts and Arrows cut originated in the 1980s with Japanese diamond cutters, refining the proportions outlined by Marcel Tolkowsky in 1919 to create round brilliant diamonds of exceptional light performance. These cuts adhere to very strict tolerances and exhibit superior optical symmetry when viewed through the Hearts & Arrows scope.
