Diamonds are truly a girl's (or a guy's) best friend, whether it's for an engagement ring, a special occasion, or simply treating yourself to a lovely accessory. Loose diamonds are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, and they're all stunning. The square cut is a common diamond form. Due to its unique and historic vibe, the Asscher cut is one of the most popular square shapes. Look no further if you've ever contemplated an Asscher cut diamond for a piece of jewelry and want to know what makes it unique.We'll go over what an Asscher cut is, the most popular cuts, and how to find a good Asscher cut diamond in the section below. Let's get right into it.

The Characteristics Of Asscher Cut Diamonds

A diamond with the Asscher Cut has been precisely cut to radiate a brilliant presence while maintaining a calm elegance. The Asscher cut isn't for every stone, but when it's paired with the correct one, it may produce breathtaking results. An Asscher Cut diamond is octagonally shaped, with four straight sides and four chopped corners. It isn't particularly brilliant, but it compensates with flash and clarity. 

Popular Types Of Asscher cuts

  • Standard Asscher Cut
  • Royal Asscher Cut

What To Consider When Choosing An Asscher Cut Diamond

Knowing the different aspects of an Asscher cut diamond and what to look for from a jeweler when selecting your piece is beneficial when choosing your Asscher cut diamond. Here are some things to consider before choosing your Asscher's cut:

Color

It's all about personal preference when it comes to selecting a color. You must also consider the color grading when selecting a lovely Asscher diamond cut. In an Asscher cut diamonds, the step facets make it easier to notice the color, especially if the diamond is larger than 1.5-2.0 carats. For Asscher diamonds, many diamond experts recommend keeping to one color. This grade provides stunning color without breaking the bank, making it the ideal balance for this cut.

Clarity

Your diamond should have a dazzling brilliance if it is appropriately proportioned. This cut, however, will not have the same fire as a round-cut diamond. Avoid anything with a VS1 or VS2 grading to keep your piece's eye-clean. Inclusions are permitted in grades below this level. Any Asscher Cut diamond weighing 1.5 carats or more would undoubtedly benefit from a VS1 or higher grading.

Cut

Depth — Because the Asscher is a deep cut, a significant portion of the diamond is visible beneath the surface. A depth percentage of 60 percent to 67 percent is ideal, as a shallower depth results in a larger-looking diamond.For the best look, use a percentage between 60 and 69 percent for the Table. You can choose polish and symmetry that is good, Very Good, or Excellent.Also, for the perfect square, use a length-to-width ratio of 1:00 to 1:05.
