Diamond Cut

Cut is the only C that is controlled by man. All other characteristics of the diamond were determined by Mother Nature billions of years ago. And Cut can be the single most important characteristic in determining a diamond's value. Two diamonds of the exact same size, with similar clarity and colour grades, may, depending on how they are cut, appear dramatically different to the eye, and have significantly different values.

This is because the Cut unlocks the beauty that lies within each diamond, and the quality of the cut determines how well a diamond will reflect and refract light. In other words, the more precise the quality of the cut, the more scintillation, brilliance and fire a diamond will have.

There is a set of mathematical proportions for diamond cutting that is accepted as "ideal." The closer a diamond is cut to these proportions, the more it will sparkle. Hearts On Fire diamonds are painstakingly cut and polished to an exacting set of proportion standards that exceed even those considered "ideal". The highest grade assigned by the American Gemological Laboratory (AGS) is a "0" Cut grade. Since every Hearts On Fire diamond is cut to a tighter set of standards than those adhered to even in grading laboratories, all of our diamonds receive the "0" cut grade certification.

That's why we proudly say that a Hearts On Fire diamond is the most perfectly cut diamond in the world. Regardless of the carat weight, colour, or clarity, you can be assured that a Hearts On Fire diamond will appear more beautiful and brilliant than any other diamond with similar characteristics.
