The Amore diamond is a most perfectly cut diamond, with extraordinary brilliance, dispersion, and scintillation. It has three distinguishing factors – perfection in polish, symmetry, and proportion - which creates a special effect. This effect is attained when all the facets are precisely aligned and the diamonds are cut and polished to perfection.
The Amore diamond is cut by placing all the facets at exact angles and proportions. It has a special combination between the crown angle and pavilion angle that brings the most brilliance from the stone to the viewer's eye. The Super Ideal Cut demands that every one of the 58 facets are the exact, same shape and size; are perfectly aligned and placed at exact angles- creating a hall of mirrors effect for the optimum refraction of light.
The proportions of the Amore diamond creates an optimum balance for maximum brilliance and fire, creating a more dazzling sparkle and an enhanced prism effect. One of the most important factors that defines an Amore diamond is that its pattern must be symmetrical and vivid.
Arrows Effect
Amore diamonds “face up” brighter for their color than diamonds cut to lower standards, because they reflect and refract the most possible light back to the naked eye. Interestingly enough, not only do they sparkle more, they also look bigger for their size than any imitators of the same effect.
When the Amore diamond is viewed upside down under an Amore viewer (your Amore diamond retailer will have one on hand), it will reveal a beautiful pattern of 8 symmetrical hearts. When viewed from above, you will see an intense symmetrical fire burst phenomenon. Only diamonds cut to the stringent and precise Amore diamond standards will reveal such definitive and crisp patterns.
Hearts Effect
The Amore viewer is only licensed for use by authorized Amore diamond retailers. They have the proper training and expertise to show and explain all the nuances of the Amore diamond pattern. This remarkably simple tool enables consumers to see how light travels through perfectly cut diamonds.
One of the special features of Amore diamonds is the laser inscription on the girdle. Each Amore diamond bears a unique serial number of the stone's certificate as well as the Amore diamond logo so you can always check the diamond against its original certificate and the Amore Diamond Document®.
What are these Hearts & Arrows?
The term Hearts & Arrows is used to describe the visual effect achieved in a round Super Ideal Cut diamond; such a diamond has perfectly symmetric facets angles, & exhibits a crisp and complete pattern of Hearts & Arrows. When viewed under a special magnifying viewer, a complete and precise visual pattern of 8 hearts can be seen while looking down through the pavilion, and 8 arrows when viewing the stone through the table in the up position.
The true Hearts and Arrows' pattern is extremely rare and difficult to find. The whole cutting process (polish, symmetry, cut) is made with the highest degree of precision. Mor Brothers' Hearts & Arrows diamonds show perfection in three distinguishing factors: in polish, symmetry, and proportion. Only one out of a million diamonds can be called a True Hearts and Arrows diamond.
A perfect Hearts & Arrows pattern offers a 100% light return. In other words: there is no leak of light through the bottom or the sides of the diamond. This is the quality you will receive with our diamonds! It is the most beautiful diamond you can imagine.
All of our round diamonds - solitaires and melee - have been cut with perfect Hearts & Arrows, and 57 facets.
