Pictured above is a Hearts and Arrows diamond as it appears through a Hearts & Arrows Scope. The perfect hearts pattern is visible when looking at the diamond from the bottom and the arrows are visible when looking at the diamond from the top. These patterns only appear on a diamond which is cut to mathematically precise proportions & symmetry that is beyond an Ideal Cut, it is a Super Ideal Cut.

Because of the mathematically precise proportions, a Hearts and Arrows diamond reflects more than 98% of the light back to your eyes, making it appear larger, livelier and more scintillating than a lesser cut diamond. The graphics above outline the relative light return based on the proportions of diamond.

Less than one percent of all diamonds being manufactured today can be considered a true Hearts and Arrows diamond. The Hearts & Arrows pattern is found in a superideal cut diamond. The Hearts and Arrows effect is achieved by cutting, aligning, and positioning, all of a diamond's 58 facets to perfection.

Oftentimes, a diamond cutter will cut a diamond too shallow or deep, as shown at the left. Neither of these cuts will properly allow the diamond to reflect it's true beauty.

Martoni & James' Hearts & Arrows diamonds have been crafted to achieve ideal proportions as well as excellence for polish and symmetry. These superideal cut diamonds have been cut to the highest standards and tightest tolerances in the diamond industry. As a result, they can be considered true Hearts and Arrows diamonds.
