The image above features an ideal cut diamond displaying Hearts and Arrows when observed through an Ideal Scope/Symmetry Viewer. The symmetry displayed in this diamond is undoubtedly an EXCELLENT/IDEAL cut diamond.
To create an Ideal Hearts and Arrows Diamond for that perfect optical symmetry, there are five components required, that work in perfect harmony together. The diamond has to be in a certain range of Percentages relating to the Table and overall Depth along with, certain Crown and Pavilion angles to display Hearts and Arrows. Round Brilliant Cut Diamonds display the best H&A because they are symmetrical.
It should be noted that excellent polish and symmetry are insufficient to qualify for Hearts and Arrows to be viewed, let alone be noted on their certificate . Cutting a Hearts and Arrows pattern is a challenging task that requires a significant amount of patience and time. Therefore, the price of a Hearts and Arrows Diamond is slightly higher than that of a regular one. Cutters frequently prefer to cut for size rather than trimming down a diamonds weight. This is especially so in Natural Mined Diamonds. However most Hearts and Arrows Certified Diamonds are Lab Grown and not Natural Mined.
Super Ideal vs Ideal vs Excellent
Many overseas companies use the term “Super Ideal“?, it’s exactly that! a term, and used by some companies to entice buyers into buying their diamonds because they have called it a name they made up. No Diamond Laboratory certifies diamonds “Super Ideal”.
Diamonds with the highest level of cut are termed/classed differently by many labs.
GIA= Excellent
IGI= Ideal
GCAL=Excellent
AGS= AGS Ideal 0
HRD= Excellent
