Asscher Cut

A unique diamond cut that was developed in 1902 by the Asscher brothers. They were initially famous for cutting the worlds largest stone, the Culinan (3106 carats), and is characterized by its shape, which is similar to an emerald cut, but square and with larger step facets and cut corners. The Asscher cut peaked in demand in the 1920’s, but since the early 2000’s has had a resurgence in popularity.

Cut

One of the most defining characteristics of a diamond is its cut. While high grades of color, clarity, and carat weight affect a diamond, it's the cut that determines the symmetry of the stone's facets, its overall proportions, and its ability to reflect light. An expertly cut diamond will achieve high levels of brilliance, sparkle, and durability. For more information and cut types, see The Four C's.
