What Are Heart and Arrow Diamonds?

The heart and arrow pattern is a remarkable phenomenon that occurs when a diamond is cut to precise proportions. The term "hearts and arrows" refers to the visual display that appears when the diamond is viewed under specific conditions. Under a microscope, the diamond reveals a series of eight distinct arrows on the crown of the diamond, and when viewed from the pavilion, a symmetrical heart pattern emerges. This pattern is the result of an ideal cut that reflects light in such a way that it produces perfect symmetry and optimal light dispersion.

  • Origins: The heart and arrow pattern was perfected by Japanese diamond cutter Takaaki Kato in the 1980s.
  • Pattern: The pattern consists of eight arrows visible on the crown and symmetrical hearts on the pavilion, formed by an ideal cut.
  • Significance: The precise symmetry of the cut ensures optimal light reflection, making these diamonds a symbol of flawless quality.

Do Hearts and Arrow Diamonds Sparkle More?

Enhanced Sparkle

The hearts and arrow cut maximizes light return, enhancing sparkle compared to traditional diamonds.

Hearts and arrow diamonds excel in this area because the symmetry of the cut is so precise that it maximizes the amount of light that enters the diamond and reflects back to the observer. When light hits a heart and arrow diamond, the facets are designed to reflect it back in a uniform pattern, resulting in a more intense sparkle. The hearts and arrows are not only a visual marker of symmetry but also a functional trait that enhances the diamond’s ability to reflect light, thus improving its brilliance.

Brilliance

A diamond’s sparkle is determined by its cut, which influences light reflection and brilliance.

Diamonds are known for their brilliance—the ability to reflect light and create stunning sparkle. This brilliance is determined by a combination of factors including the cut, color, clarity, and carat weight of the diamond. However, the cut is the most important factor in how much sparkle a diamond exhibits. A well-cut diamond will reflect light more effectively, creating the captivating "fire" and "brilliance" that diamonds are famous for.

Comparisons

Due to superior symmetry, hearts and arrow diamonds reflect light more efficiently, producing greater brilliance.

When compared to traditional diamonds, which may not have the same level of symmetry, heart and arrow diamonds tend to sparkle more intensely. This is because the laser-sharp precision of the cut ensures that the diamond performs optimally, maximizing light return and minimizing light leakage.

Everly Pump

Available in three widths, these pumps feature walkable heels and provide non-slip outsoles. With a pair of pumps like these Naturalizer Everly heels, you may be able to get through the day without any discomfort. They sit below the recommended 3-inch heel height and feature the brand’s signature open-cell foam padding to make it feel like you’re wearing the shoes and not the other way around. Choose from one of three widths (narrow, medium, wide) and strut with a pair of shoes that works for day or night, casual or special occasions.

Round-Toe Chunky Heels

These rounded-toe shoes provide an antibacterial, deodorizing cushion to keep your feet fresh. Anyone who has bunions should pay special attention to the toe box. Rounded or square boxes are better because pointed ones will add more pressure in that area. These heels from Vivaia have rounded toes to prevent worsening bunions, and their upper areas are knitted with flexible stretch. They’re also quite low at a little less than two inches to ease the pressure from your feet. And they have a non-slip rubber sole to help you stay put. If you have wide feet, we recommend selecting one size up for extra comfort.

The Use and Benefit of Heart and Arrow Diamonds

Light Performance:

One of the key benefits of heart and arrow diamonds is their superior light performance. Heart and arrow diamonds are often used in engagement rings, fine jewelry, and other luxury pieces where the brilliance of the diamond is a key factor in the design. Because of their rarity and precision, these diamonds are typically more expensive than standard diamonds. However, the premium price comes with significant benefits. 

Emotional Value

Another benefit is the emotional value attached to owning such a diamond. For those seeking a diamond that exhibits the ultimate sparkle, the heart and arrow cut is the gold standard. The meticulous cut ensures that the diamond will shine brilliantly under any light conditions, making it a showstopper in any piece of jewelry.

Premium Quality

For many, purchasing a heart and arrow diamond represents a commitment to quality and an appreciation for the craftsmanship that goes into creating such a perfect stone. The symmetry and perfection of the pattern also add a unique emotional appeal, as the heart and arrow shape conveys feelings of love and devotion, making it a fitting choice for engagements and special occasions.

Opt for Platform Heels

Platform heels are more comfortable than single-sole heels because the actual heel is shorter than the heel height. The platform also reduces the impact of your feet touching the ground, reducing discomfort. However, thicker platform heels can cause your foot to wobble and your ankle to snap, especially if the platform is very thick and the heel is stiletto. The shoe should be a good ratio between a thick platform and a fitting heel.
