Is the cut advisor good for hearts and arrows?

I''m guessing not. But hearts and arrows are all close to perfectly cut anyways, correct?

No. If you read this info, it should help you. The HCA is a tool which helps the buyer eliminate poorly performing diamonds, it cannot physically see the stone. Also be careful with the hearts and arrows title, just because a diamond displays a H&A pattern, does not mean it is a true hearts and arrows diamond.

The HCA is an elimination tool to help you narrow down your choices to select well cut stones. There are also many beautiful ideal cut stones without H&A. Then there are also well cut stones with H&A patterns but aren''t true H&As, and also there''s stones with true H&As. The short answer is no, the HCA doesn''t tell you anything about the H&A pattern of the diamond.
