Asscher Cut Diamonds

Asscher-cut diamonds

The original Asscher cut diamond, or «the hall of mirrors», was invented by diamond cutter Joseph Asscher in 1902. His goal was to improve the light performance and significantly increase the luxury impression of the diamond, which resulted in the creation of the asscher-cut diamond. The diamond is almost square with the original iteration of 1:1.04. Asscher diamond is often called a «kings choice» since the Cullinan 1 (530.2 asscher-cut diamond) today is a part of Great Britain’s Crown Jewels. Almost a century after the debut of Asscher-cut - Asscher’s descendant reinvented the design and added 16 more facets to the original loose asscher cut diamond. The result was a whopping asscher diamond with 74 facets, resulting in a simply stunning mirror light effect.

Asscher cut diamond is noticeable by a couple of its most distinctive features. It can be similar to an emerald cut, the straight, stepped edges of which ideally allow you to look inside the stone. But the Asscher diamond is a squarer version of this popular cut with rounded corners rather than the elongated and rectangular emerald cut. Looking straight down at an Asscher cut diamond, one can see an X-shape formed by converging equidistant facets centred towards the culet at the lower (pavilion side) centre of the stone. Looking at the stone from the side, you can see that the crown is taller than other forms of diamonds.

Almost a perfect square symmetry with a wide cut and high crown - creates a stone with exceptional brilliance, beauty and style. A person may feel as if they are drowning in a set of mirrors that reflect a tremendous amount of light back into the eye. In the case of an asscher-cut diamond, you do not notice his shortcomings. Of course, it is unlikely that anyone will ask a question about the clarity of your diamond. However, just looking at the Asscher cut diamond, it immediately becomes clear that we are talking about a diamond of exceptional beauty.
