ICE
HEARTS & ARROWS
Hearts
& Arrows is the term used for super ideal cut diamonds that
exhibit a complete and precise Hearts & Arrows pattern. Hearts
& Arrows diamonds have three distinguishing factors – perfection
in polish, symmetry, and proportion.
This effect is
attained when all the facets are precisely aligned and the diamonds
are cut and polished to perfection. The perfect symmetry of an ICE
hearts and arrows diamond makes it the Ultimate Ideal Cut

8 hearts while looking down through the pavilion and 8 arrows when
viewing the stone in the table up position. A special "Ice-Scope"

 The Ice Difference
What truly makes these diamonds so
remarkable is the amount of light they produce. A complete
'Hearts & Arrows' pattern has an average light return of
98%. The 8 arrows visible from the crown side are the 8 pavilion
main facets, while the 8 hearts visible through the pavilion
side are created by reflection of 16 lower girdle facets, in
the table of the stone.One can see why all the facets must be
exactly the same shape and size. If the cut of the diamond
is even slightly asymmetrical, the result will be a
distorted, crooked, uneven or incomplete pattern.
