Hearts & Arrows Cut Moissanite are precision-cut variations of the traditional 57 faceted round brilliant cut. They are cut to “ideal” proportions with good optical symmetry, polish and a specific faceting pattern. When all these factors are present, the result is a repeatable, near perfect pattern of eight symmetrical arrows in the face-up position of the stone (called ‘crown’) and eight symmetrical hearts when viewed in the table-down position (called ‘pavilion’).

Perfectly formed Hearts and Arrows patterns with eight hearts AND eight arrows (above, left) are only found in diamonds that meet the American Gem Society Laboratories’ “0” Ideal Cut specifications. The IdealScope was invented by Kazumi Okuda in the 1970’s, and its later incarnation, the “FireScope,” was invented by Ken Shigetomi and Kazumi Okuda in 1984. The first official H & A “EightStar” diamond was cut in 1985 by Kioyishi Higuchi for Japanese businessman and FireScope manufacturer, Takanori Tamura.
