By Aaron N Jones


When looking for diamonds, everything starts and ends with the type of diamond you want. Even so, diamonds stores have a lot of diamonds to present and it can be challenging to pick out a diamond based on the price, shape and style it have. It's incredibly tough, especially if the diamond you happen to be trying to find is going to be utilized in a particular jewelry setting. The majority of the time, the store clerks would provide you different diamonds that you simply could use; most of the time the Asscher cut diamonds is one of them.

So What's An Asscher Cut?

Whenever you hear the Asscher cut diamond being mentioned, the one specific question that would enter in your mind is "what with the name?" The Asscher diamond first came into public in 1902 and was named right after its creators - the Asscher Brothers. The Asscher cut diamond is usually a member of the step cut diamond family members.

The Asscher cut diamond had been crafted in a particular way that it appears like it is a simplified version of emerald cut diamonds, another well-known member of the step cut diamond family members. The only difference is the truncated corners of Asscher cuts instead of the cropped corners emerald cuts have. These truncated corners make the diamond less vulnerable to damages, but the truncated corners make the color of the diamond more visible. Most of the time Asscher cuts are square shaped diamonds, but there are instances where other Asscher cuts are almost square instead.

What are the Features of Asscher Cuts

The appearance of Asscher cuts is a combination of a square shape, truncated corners and rectangular facets. The diamond is excellent with any jewelry setting because of its shape, a shape that is closely similar to other diamond shapes like radiant cut diamonds, while the facet of the diamond focuses more on the clarity of the diamond. As opposed to now, seeing an Asscher cut in diamond stores is practically impossible and they had been only obtainable in specialty diamonds shops and auctions; but because of the prestige of the diamond, collectors and enthusiasts had been always in the hunt for these diamonds. But no one was able to predict the sudden recognition of Asscher cuts; as soon as it became common the diamond was pronounce as one of the most fashionable diamonds that may be applied as rings. Still, if you compare the Asscher cut from the popularity of round brilliants - they are still far from behind.

What Should Be the Ratings of Asscher Cuts?

Because of the unique capabilities of Asscher cuts, there has to be particular grades or ratings that one has to think about. So unlike pear shaped diamonds or other diamond shapes that focuses more on brilliance, it is actually vital to think about the clarity grade of the diamond because the shape of the diamond highlights the clarity more than any other characteristics of a diamond. It's better to keep away from diamonds which have clarity rating which is below VS2. Given that the color of diamond will turn out to be more visible on the truncated corners of the diamond, the color grade of the diamond should be considered and it could be better if the color rating is above "I".
