A. Anyone doing some research about round brilliant diamonds before they make a commitment to purchase one will have come across diamonds described as ‘triple excellent’ being the ultimate in cut perfection and brilliance. For the major international grading laboratories such as GIA,HRD and IGI ‘triple excellent ‘ is the highest possible grading they can give. Excellent for polish, excellent for symmetry and excellent for overall cut grade. Whilst all 3 are regarded as industry leaders in the field of gem identification and analysis all 3 have different methods of calculating the overall cut of a diamond which at times can lead to different results being given on the same diamond. Triple Excellent diamonds must therefore be examined a little closer to determine whether they are true Triple Excellent Hearts and Arrows diamonds with perfect scintillation. The areas that need to be looked at are the table and depth percentages, crown and pavilion height, depth and percentage, star and pavilion facet lengths along with girdle thickness. It is crucial all these factors fall within certain parameters to ensure you are purchasing the ultimate Triple Excellent Hearts and Arrows Diamond with brilliance and light return beyond all others. After years of research the TripleEx H&A™ brand was developed to promote these perfect diamonds.
A. Already certified with GIA as a ‘Triple Excellent’, a TripleEx H&A™ diamond is re-certified with its own certificate using the latest technology cut analysis software showing exact proportions, measurements + photographs of H&A and ASET scope images confirming the diamonds light return and brilliance.

TripleEx H&A™..."The ultimate round brilliant diamond"
It is essential that the table size, star facets, crown and pavilion angles and lower girdle halves all work harmoniously together to create perfect hearts and arrows and exceptional light brilliance. The diagram to the right shows which parts of the diamond we are referring to.
A TripleEx H&A™ Diamond has an optimum table size,Star and Pavillion facets of the correct length, Lower girdle halves that are 100% correct in sizes shape and length, and crown and pavilion angles working harmoniously together ensuring perfect light brilliance and crisp symmetrical Hearts and Arrows.
The image to the right shows a TripleEx H&A™ diamond that has optimum percentages and angles when viewed through a hearts and arrows proportion scope.
Note the pattern of eight hearts are all exactly the same size and have symmetrical points and flattened shoulders. The 'v' shape between the bottom of the heart 'v' and the centre of the diamond are also exactly the same and perfectly symmetrical. The pattern of eight arrows are all exactly the same size and clearly visible. The star shaped pattern in the centre is the correct size indicating the arrow shafts are all exactly the same length.
On the right are 2 images illustrating how the arrows are formed in a TripleEx H&A™ diamond. The image on the left shows 2 pavilion main facets in shades of grey and pink that are being viewed through the pavilion side of the diamond.
When the diamond is turned over and viewed through the table you can see that the pavilion facets form the shaft of the arrow and then reflect 180° to form the arrow head opposite.
The arrow shaft, which is the pavilion main facet is called a ‘see through facet’ whilst the arrow head is called a ‘reflected’ facet because it is a 180° reflection of the main pavilion facet.
Therefore each arrow is a combination of 2 separate pavilion main facets.The next image illustrates how the hearts are formed in a TripleEx H&A™ diamond.
When viewed through the pavilion side the pavilion main facet(on the left hand side of the image) reflects 180° to form 2 halves of 2 separate hearts (on the right hand side of the image).
Therefore each heart is a combination of 2 reflected pavilion main facets and if they are not all exactly the same length and angle the hearts will not be uniform and will appear uneven.
Perfect hearts are a combination of precise pavilion main facets reflecting 180° onto precise lower girdle halves. The ‘V’ patternvisible underneath each heart is the result of the lower girdlehalves and the pavilion main facets being polished and finishedto absolute precision.
You can see how important the relationship is between pavilion main facets and lower girdle halves and how they need to be polished to exact tolerances to create the perfection found in TripleEx H&A™ diamonds.
Aset
Angular Spectrum Evaluation Tool
Aset,(Angular Spectrum Evaluation Tool) technology plays a large role in determining whether a diamond will qualify for TripleEx H&A™. All TripleEx H&A™ diamonds show perfect light performance when viewed under an ASET scope.
Red represents “brightness”…the light that makes the diamond bright and brilliant. It strikes the diamond from 45 degrees up to perpendicular to the table. Green represents less efficient light. It has been reflected off of objects or it strikes the diamond at harsh or indirect angles. This is light that strikes the diamond from 45 degrees to the horizon.
Blue represents “contrast”. It is the pattern of light and dark areas that our eye finds pleasing. It is caused by light that could have entered the diamond but is blocked by the viewer’s head. It should be distributed in a balanced, symmetrical pattern.
Black represents “leakage” which is an area from which light literally leaks out of the diamond and is lost. TripleEx H&A™ diamonds show no leakage of light at all.
TripleEx H&A™ diamonds show much more red than green. The table reflection area in the very centre can possibly show red or green or a combination of both which is acceptable.
TripleEx H&A™ diamonds have their own certificate showing a full Sarin report on the diamond, images of the hearts and the arrows, an image of the TripleEx H&A™ logo that has been laser inscribed onto the girdle and an Aset image showing its light return.
The certificate is presented in a hand made black box with a TripleEx H&A™ hearts and arrows scope.

Matt’s mission was to find Sarah the world’s most perfectly cut, round brilliant diamond - the perfect "TripleEx H&A"™ Hearts and Arrows diamond.
He knew it would be a diamond like none other, one that would immediately ignite his passion with the truest, most dazzling reflection of his love for her. Leaving no doubt, that this was the one!
His journey took him to a place where but a handful of the world’s raw diamonds are selected and only a few, especially skilled craftsmen are allowed to cut and polish the very best diamonds, to bring them to life!
Matt saw some of the select few diamonds in the world that were given the highest “triple excellent” rating, but they didn’t contain the precise yet beautiful Hearts and Arrows, that would tell him “this is the one!”
Along the way, he was told of the one place he would find the diamond he was looking for. And one of the few craftsmen in the world who could create a ring worthy of the world’s most perfectly cut Hearts and Arrows diamond.
That one place? The Diamond Jewellery Studio.
When Matt saw the diamond he knew it was the one. His heart soared when he saw the perfect symmetry of the eight Hearts and eight Arrows, welcoming him with a flawless, scintillating display.
His mission had been accomplished. He had searched and found the one perfect diamond in the world for Sarah and had it set for eternity by the one person capable of creating the world’s finest symbol of his eternal love.
