What is the Cushion Hearts and Arrows Elongated Cut? 

Let us introduce you to the best-of-the-best - the Cushion Hearts and Arrows Elongated Cut. The Hearts and Arrows diamond cut convey a distinct pattern -  Eight contrasting Arrows on the crown of the diamond and Eight contrasting Hearts from below. This cut seamlessly blends the brilliance of the classic Hearts and Arrows precision with the sophisticated allure of an Elongated Cushion shape. But what makes it so exceptional? Let’s explore.

The Elongated Cushion Hearts and Arrows Cut

For those seeking the pinnacle of diamond artistry, the elongated Cushion 1:3 Ratio is an exquisite rarity. (its length to width proportion meaning the diamond's length is three times the width. This ratio creates an exceptionally slender and elongated silhouette which makes the diamond look striking on the finger). 

What is a Hearts and Arrows Cut?

The Hearts and Arrows pattern is the hallmark of a perfectly symmetrical diamond, contrasting vibrantly within the stone visible to the eye. When viewed from the top, the diamond exhibits eight perfectly shaped arrows. Flip it over to reveal the eight distinctive hearts underneath. This captivating pattern is visible to the eye whether the Hearts and Arrows Diamond is loose or set within an Engagement Ring. This optical phenomenon occurs only when every facet is cut to absolute precision, ensuring superior light performance, fire, and scintillation.

Symmetry & Master Cutting: The Art Behind the Brilliance

Creating a Hearts and Arrows cut demands expert craftsmanship, requiring a level of precision achieved by only the most skilled diamond cutters. Every facet must be aligned to microscopic perfection—any deviation disrupts the reflection of light, diminishing the pattern and brightness of the stone. 

Now, imagine achieving this symmetry in an Elongated Cushion cut —this shape is where the true mastery lies. Unlike a round diamond, where symmetry is naturally distributed, an elongated cushion presents a greater challenge. The length-to-width ratio must be carefully maintained while ensuring each facet interacts perfectly with light to produce the sought-after Hearts and Arrows effect. This cut takes around 3-4 times longer than the average to produce.

The Challenge of an Elongated Cushion Hearts and Arrows Cut

The rarity of this cut stems from its difficulty in execution. While standard Hearts and Arrows patterns are typically found in round diamonds, translating this optical precision into an Elongated Cushion shape requires an extraordinary level of skill.

Crafting a hearts & diamond is an art of unrivaled precision, requiring countless hours of meticulous skill and unwavering care—but shaping elongated or asymmetrical stones elevates the challenge, where every delicate cut must be flawlessly executed to preserve both brilliance, symmetry and balance

Achieving a 1:3 ratio while maintaining the perfect symmetry required for Hearts and Arrows is an incredible feat, as any slight imbalance in facet alignment can distort the pattern. The facets are wider and larger than the norm (With a smaller table and wider faceting arrangement). This is why only the finest, most precisely cut natural diamonds can achieve this extraordinary shape and optical perfection.
