What You Need to Know About Asscher Cut Diamonds

About Asscher Cut Diamonds

Asscher cut diamonds are the stars of the Roaring 20s.
They have a “step cut”, just like their emerald cut cousins. But they look more octagonal than square. Also, they have more facets than emerald cuts, which makes them much more sparkly.
Just like in emerald cuts, the lower you go on depth in asscher cut diamonds, the bigger your diamond will look.
Now the cons: asscher cut diamonds usually look smaller than other diamond cuts with the same carat weight.
Again, just like emerald cut diamonds, asscher cut diamonds are bad at hiding color and inclusions. My advice is you stick with at least a G color diamond. For clarity, don’t go below a VS2. Trust me, you don’t want that.
