Hearts & Arrows Cut Diamond Cubic Zirconia Diamond Simulant

Arrows under an ideal scope, a device used to detect ideal cut diamonds. When put
under an ideal scope, an ideal cut diamond will display 8 hearts and 8 arrows.

When you choose a cz to go in your jewellery, please consider what you are spending your money on. A low quality gemstone can seriously effect the look of the of jewellery no matter how good the jewellery, a low quality gemstone can make it look cheap and tacky. These Gemsinbox Hearts and Arrows cut cubic zirconia are cut to perfection
from the highest quality material to give sharper flashes of light and more fire. The difference in price between
these highest quality stones and low quality stones is only cent and will hardly add anything to the overall cost, so get the best for your jewellery and be confident that it won't be ruined by low quality stones.

The hearts and arrows cut is cut to exact proportions using a special cutting machine. When viewed under a device called an ideal scope, used for assessing diamond cut quality, a hearts and arrows shape can be seen and this
shows that the gem has been cut perfectly. Below is a picture of how this hearts and arrows cut cz would look
under an ideal scope. When you put a normal Brillaint cut cz next to the hearts and arrows cut you can see that it
does not look so sharp.

Cubic zirconia is the only material that can match a diamond close enough to fool people who work with diamonds such as jewellers. High quality and well cut stones such as these Gemsinbox stones cannot be easily told apart
from a diamond and have to be checked with an electronic diamond tester to be certain. Low quality cubic zirconia can fade over time and turn cloudy in the sunlight, these Gemsinbox stones have been tested to not fade in
sunlight and are 8.5 Mohs in hardness. This hardness is higher than the hardness of 7, this is significant because 7 is the hardness of quartz and quartz can be found in dust everywhere and is what scratches everything around
the house. 8.5 Mohs is extremely hard and cannot be scratched by any normal household object over any length of time, which means, as long as it is kept clean, it will keep it's sparkle for years, probably a lifetime.
