The term Hearts and Arrows is used to describe the visual effect achieved in a round diamond with perfect symmetry and angles. When viewed under special magnification, the perfectly aligned facets of these diamonds reveal the Hearts and Arrows pattern. From the bottom, eight perfectly symmetrical hearts can be seen and, when viewed from the top, eight completely uniform arrows.
