Asscher Round Diamond

Asscher Cut Diamonds

Designed in 1902, by Joseph Asscher of the Asscher Brothers of Holland, this enchanting diamond resembles the Emerald cut, except for its cropped corners.  Unlike the Princess and Round Brilliant cut, this particular style of stone has been hard to find in stores until recently.  Here we discover why the world is falling in love with the Asscher cut diamond.

Technically Speaking

The technical specifications are very similar to that of an Emerald cut.  The length to width ratio is 1:1 and offers 72 facets for light to bounce off.  Because of its high crown and small table (the top half of the stone), the light this particular cut can reflect is somewhat higher than that of an Emerald cut.  In most instances, the Asscher cut diamond which also falls into the family of “fancy cut” diamonds is often less expensive than round cut diamonds.

It’s Famous!

One of the reasons that the Asscher cut is becoming so popular is because it has been seen in engagement rings of some of the world’s biggest celebrities.  These famous icons include people like Kate Hudson and “Carrie Bradshaw” from the hit TV show “Sex and the City”.

Choosing the Perfect Asscher Cut Diamond

The way this diamond was designed was to ultimately draw the eye into the centre of the stone, almost like being hypnotised.  Because of this unique ability to draw people in, it’s important to buy an Asscher cut diamond of the highest quality you can afford.

The setting for an Asscher cut diamond must comprise 4 prongs for the diamond to sit in.  In recent years, antique settings have become increasingly popular and the Asscher cut is perfect to complement this type of classic design.  The beauty of the Asscher cut diamond is that it can be stunning set with accompanying stones or equally as impressive on its own as a solitaire.

In any case, the Asscher cut diamond truly is an up and coming diamond in the engagement ring arena.  While it has a lengthy history behind it, it is only now that many people are realising its true beauty and opting to have the stone as a feature in an engagement ring.
