Diamond's Eight Hearts and Eight Arrows
Other Highlights of Understanding Diamonds - Eight Hearts and Eight Arrows
Eight Hearts and Eight Arrows is a common round brilliant cut, and the "eight hearts and eight arrows" of a diamond is also known as the "eight hearts and eight arrows phenomenon".
When a diamond is observed under a specific light, the bottom of the diamond will appear as eight sharp angles and the top will appear as eight arrows, hence the name "eight hearts and eight arrows". In fact, it is not a new type of carving.
We covered the diamond with a lens barrel that is designed to look at the eight hearts and eight arrows and separated it twice, once at the top and once at the bottom, and we observed that the diamond has eight arrows in a circle at the top and eight hearts in a circle at the bottom, so it is called the eight hearts and eight arrows, also known as"Kewpie Turner".This phenomenon usually only occurs in high quality diamonds because they are cut with such precision that light passing through the diamond produces very strong reflections and refractions, creating the image of eight sharp angles and arrows. These images are a sign of the excellent quality of the cut of the diamond.Therefore, it is considered as one of the important quality indicators of diamonds.
