This beautifully unique shape given in diamond is nearly identical to the emerald-cut, except that it is square. Also, this shape has a pavilion that is cut with rectangular facets in the same style as the emerald-cut. If you choose SI-clarity be sure to view the clarity plot on the diamond certificate, because this shape highlights the clarity of the diamond. When choosing a color grade, consider that while the price of a J-color non-round diamond is exceptional, color may be slightly visible in it's corners.
The Asscher cut diamond was developed in 1902 by the Asscher Brothers of Holland. It is a stepped square cut, often called the square emerald cut and like an emerald cut, the Asscher has cropped corners. Until recently, very few stores carried Asscher cut diamonds. But the Asscher cut has rapidly gained popularity.
The Asscher cut is designed to draw the eye into the diamond. |
