IGI Hearts + Arrows on Certificate?

[PrinceGeorge48]

I am deciding between two lab diamonds that both have great proportions and look good on video, but one is labeled "Hearts and Arrows" on its IGI certificate, whereas the other does not have this designation. IGI seems to have begun using this label in early 2020, and both of these diamonds were certified after this time, so both would have been theoretically eligible to receive a "hearts + arrows" designation. Does anyone know the exact date when IGI began doing this? Also, are all IGI-certified diamonds considered for this designation, so that if a diamond certified recently does *not* have H+A it is therefore definitely *not* a H+A diamond?

I ask because both diamonds seem equivalently good, but the H+A designation is causing me to lean towards the first. Here are the two diamonds with their respective certificates if you're interested. Thanks!

Diamond 2 (not H+A)

IGI has a little blurb about it on their website:

Hearts & Arrows Report

The Hearts & Arrows diamond report offers a concise evaluation of diamonds with this iconic pattern, highlighting cut quality.

www.igi.org

Whether it truly provides an actual stamp of approval for a "safe purchase" is open to interpretation, as actual advances images will be the tell-all for buyer peace of mind.

That being said, I wanted the H&A designation on the report when I was shopping for my wife's diamond.

I love that first one! The proportions are a bit safer in my opinion, I love how it looks in the video, it's quite a bit bigger, and it has the H and A designation (although no actual H and A images).

These are not deadly accurate DiamCalc pro runs, but give you an idea of the huge range of proportions that create H&A's when the symmetry is tight.
