To the best of my knowledge I don''t think these are h&a or sold as such, nor do BN provide hearts and arrows images which are needed to evaluate any so called h&a diamond. Some of these do appear to be well cut, however whether they show any degree of h&a is debatable.Date: 5/9/2009 8:39:03 AM

Does anyone have a good review on their signature series? Are those good H&A quality? Their prices looks competitive? Are the prices good?

Yes, BN do not provide the image, but supposedly BN is selling the point that it is symmetrically cut according to good H&A on their site. That''s gives me the impression that it should shows good H&A, but juding from the response here, it seems like it''s not really the case...
H&A diamonds can only be judged by images, and hearts images are essential so until I see images which prove a diamond is cut to h&a standards then I reserve judgement. I will post a link which explains more on how h&a are graded by conoisseurs and experts of this cutting style.Date: 5/9/2009 9:14:43 AM

Not necessarily. The proportions are the bricks and mortar of light return - and therefore beauty and sparkle. So you could have an AGS0 for example with great proportions which is stunningly beautiful, but it does not show h&a. Alternatively you can have a diamond with a strong h&a pattern, but if the proportions aren't good to go with it, the diamond won't have much life. Or you can have the best of both worlds by considering some of the branded h&a cuts such as Infinity which are sold from -Date: 5/9/2009 9:44:36 AM

Actually does having a H&A really helps to improve the beauty of the stone? If I have a nice AGS0 stone with good HCA, but without H&A as compared to the same with H&A, will that look very different?

I could be wrong but I do not think BN sends you the actual hearts and arrows image of your diamond when it is purchased.... GCAL is not sufficient to prove their claim.
