When viewed through a special gemscope from the bottom, these round diamonds will show a pattern of hearts (top). The arrows are seen from above. They are tougher to make out in the second picture below so I have highlighted a couple of them to make it easier to spot them.

They were introduced into the North American market in the 1990's.
