Comparing Diamonds - Two Different Oval Cuts

Time to take a look at two different Oval Cut Diamonds. 

Comparison between Oval Hearts & Arrows Cut Diamond and Oval Brilliant Cut Diamond

Today we are comparing an Oval Hearts & Arrows Cut Diamond to an Oval Brilliant Cut Diamond. Both of these Diamonds are 2.04cts with 57 facets.

Looking more closely inside a reflective scope we can clearly see the differences.

The hearts & arrows cut produces a beautiful star-like pattern inside the stone whereas the brilliant cut has more of a mosaic pattern highlighting its many small facets.

The proportions also vary. The Oval brilliant cut has a more elongated shape and the Oval H&A is a little rounder. This shape and depth affects their light performance - the hearts and arrows diamond is the brightest and whitest - because the facets act like mirrors to reflect more light.

The Oval Brilliant cut is glittery and shimmery with the way it interacts with light, producing a beautiful shimmery scintillation from the surface of the diamond.

The Oval H&A cut has a faceted look with a captivating arrow pattern that draws you in. The diamond produces flashes of white light with its very precise facet placement and alignment for the brightest sparkle.
