BEST VALUE Signature Asscher Cut Diamonds...

An Asscher is a variation of an emerald cut, known on a GIA Report as a "modified square emerald cut”.

It features a small table, high crown, deep pavilion and cut corners characteristics that put its sparkle on par with the brilliant cut diamond.

Original Ascher diamonds are much sought after today and very scarce. They have recently begun to appear in the engagement rings of Hollywood starlets.

These widely photographed rings, appearing in fashion and entertainment magazines, have stoked the public's demand for this vintage cut.

Blue Nile, which distributes a large selection of Asscher cuts ranging from one-third to more than three carats, recommends that the length-to-width ratio of the cut fall between 1.00 and 1.05 and stones should have exceptional color and clarity for the best effect.

Asscher cut diamonds embody the elegance of an earlier age .The Royal Ascher Cut Diamonds have a stepped square cut with cropped corners meant to draw the eye in to the center of the diamond.

An Asscher cut diamond emits the same brilliance of an emerald cut diamond. Ascher cut is a square cut diamond with 72 facets.

The cut's wide step facets and deep clipped corners make the gemstone resemble an octagon.

Vintage Ascher diamonds are usually octagonal in shape or a square with beveled corners. They have a deep step cut crown and pavilion that create what we call the Hall of Mirrors effect.

The Ascher diamond is usually square shaped. With their eight sides, Asscher cut diamond creates a pattern of repeated shapes within the diamond itself for an exquisite cut.

Original Asscher cut diamonds may still be found in antique jewelry stores and auctions, but they are few and far between.

Thankfully, the new Royal Ascher Cut makes the beauty of this refined and graceful cut available to all!
