Can an ASET Scope show the "hearts"?

I know that one can see the "arrows" of the diamond but can it show the "hearts"? I took pictures of a couple of CZs with my phone.

One of them is cut better than the other. But when I view through the pavilion, I don't see hearts at all.

You would only see hearts if it’s a H&A cut. ASET hearts:

Sort of, they are not as neat and precise as a h&a scope.
Its showing them, they just are very bad.
That stone is not cut to parameters that will show good h&a images.
What are the numbers off the report?

Here is one of the hearts, because the stone is not centered in the scope all of them are not shown.

Better example of ASET hearts vs H&A viewer hearts of the same diamond:

You can kinda see the hearts there with the ASET scope with good symmetry.

I'm just practicing with CZs so they don't have reports. But that CZ is supposed to be an "ideal" cut.

I'll look at it again. I put just the CZ table size down, flat on my phone.

The stone needs to be centered in the scope and the camera centered and parallel to the lens of the scope.

The cz is not a ideal cut as in its not cut to mimic ideal cut h&a diamonds.

The CZs are more for practice I guess. Maybe I'll go to a jewelry store and play with their diamonds.

If they are busy come back later.
ask before using the scope and let them hold it and look at it first.
Expect some to say no, be polite and put it away and talk to them a bit and they may change their mind.
Just remember they are doing you a favor by letting you play with their diamonds.
Being polite goes a long way.
