Surpassing ideal proportions to release a diamond's maximum inner fire, scintillation and brilliance.
As almost everyone knows, the value of a diamond is determined by its cut, color, clarity and carat weight. But the beauty of a diamond depends almost entirely on the cut.
Because what's unique about a diamond is how it plays with light, creating sparkle, fire and brilliance. It's all about light; how much light is taken in, how it's refracted around inside and how much is reflected back to the eye of the beholder. The more light there is, the more beautiful the diamond looks.
One in a Million
There is a specific type of cut - the "Hearts on Fire round brilliant" - that optimizes the dance of light. Its 58 facets are created to precise proportions and polished to an exquisite finish. Fewer than one in every million diamonds is cut to this extraordinary level of perfection. It is called the Hearts on Fire Diamond. There isn't a more perfectly cut diamond in the world.
A difference you can see
One look will tell you that a Hearts on Fire Diamond is incredibly beautiful. And you don't have to be an expert to understand why - you just have to look through the Proportion Scope. What you see is the combined beauty of math and physics at work – the result of facets cut with precisely defined angles and proportions, and what they do to light when it enters a Hearts on Fire Diamond. Its shape is perfectly round, the facets are perfectly pointed, the top and bottom facets are perfectly aligned. It's measurably different from other diamonds.
Looking through the bottom of a Hearts on Fire Diamond, you can see a perfectly symmetrical ring of hearts. With an ordinary diamond you can't.
Looking through the top of a Hearts on Fire Diamond, you can see a perfect star – the fire. It's vastly different from an ordinary diamond.
Because a Hearts on Fire Diamond is cut for maximum light and beauty, it will appear larger, more brilliant and prettier than an ordinary diamond with the same size diameter, even though it has less carat weight.
Same size, less weight
When you are comparing diamonds, it's what you see that counts. The fact is, a .85 carat Hearts on Fire Diamond looks as big as an ordinary one-carat diamond because they are both exactly the same size in diameter. What's more, a Hearts on Fire Diamond may even appear the be larger, because of its greater brilliance.
The reason the Hearts on Fire Diamond weighs slightly less is that the bottom is as perfectly cut as the top. In this case, less is definitely more, because the extra weight retained in the bottom of an ordinary diamond adds nothing to the beauty, it just adds to the cost.
The value is verifiable
After a Hearts on Fire Diamond is cut and polished, an identification number is laser-inscribed on the girdle (the tiny edge at the middle of the stone). Each number is unique.
An independent gemological laboratory then evaluates each stone for the "4 Cs" – cut, clarity, color, and carat weight – and provides a certificate attesting to its findings. The number on the certificate, which matches the number on the stone, authenticates the diamond's value and gives you the comfort of knowing that the diamond that earned the rating is actually yours.
In technical terms, the highest rating for a cut is "Zero" with polish finish and symmetry finish of "Excellent/Excellent."
Only diamonds that meet these exacting standards can be called Hearts on Fire.
