Signature Hearts & Arrows Diamond Collection
JamesAllen.com is proud to offer some of the worlds finest-cut diamonds, all guaranteed available and ready to be set into your perfect setting. Our high standards in overall diamond quality and grading, combined with our ability to source some of the most beautiful and precision-cut diamond inventory has allowed us to introduce the Hearts & Arrows Diamond Collection.
Hearts & Arrows (often abbreviated as H&A) diamonds originally made their arrival to the United States in the mid 1990’s. H&A diamonds are cut so precisely that they display a special pattern hrough both the table and pavilion when viewed through a special magnifying device called a Hearts & Arrows (or H&A) viewer. Top-notch H&A diamonds are highly coveted because of their optimal performance, which can be attributed to both their overall Ideal proportions as well as the meticulous attention to detail and precision during the cutting process. Although many diamonds are cut to ideal proportions (and have an incredible amount of fire and brilliance), very few diamonds will display a clean, perfect H&A pattern.
Each and every James Allen Hearts & Arrows Diamond Collections individually inspected for overall beauty using both basic magnification and detailed review through a Hearts & Arrow viewer. During that review, the diamonds internal pattern is checked for the following:
Our Standard For Grading Hearts: *Eight symmetrical Hearts that are separate from the arrows above *Each Heart must be of the same size and definition with equally sized lobes *Each Heart must be complete and cannot be separated by overly deep clefts
Our Standards For Grading Arrows: *Eight uniform and symmetrical Arrows that are the same length, shape and contrast *Each Arrow must be clearly visible with a shaft and head *Each Arrow point must meet equally at the girdle
Diamonds that meet with above definitions and that have also been graded with the highest possible ratings for overall cut, polish and symmetry by either the G.I.A. or A.G.S. laboratories are selected for the Hearts & Arrows Collection. Because we use conservative standards for grading of our H&A diamonds, less than 1% of the diamonds on the JamesAllen.com website have been identified as part of this special program.
