Thanks

Hearts and Arrows (H&A) pattern can be observed using H&A scope on round brilliant diamonds cut within specific proportions and with superior symmetry.

Combined with ideal (close to Tolkowski) proportions, H&A diamonds are usually very beautiful (and romantic).

Thanks for clearing all that up for me. It is very interesting. I have seen some items for sale from links to your site can you buy and would you reccomend (obviously just a personnal comment) buying the H&A scope and the ideal scope.
Iam just checking the link you sent me
Thanks so much Leonid you really are helpful.

H&A scope and Ideal-Scope have different purposes.

H&A scope shows the symmetry and H&A pattern from both pavilion and table sides. Some vendors like Whiteflash.com give you H&A scope with your purchase. Or you can pay extra for it ($40-$60).

Ideal-scope shows you whether a diamond is leaking light. You still can see the Hearts though. You can use it for any diamond, not only super symmetrical.
