Asscher Cut Diamonds

The Asscher brothers in Holland created Asscher cut diamonds in the year 1902. The Asscher cut is very similar to the cut of emerald cut diamonds, only in a square shape as opposed to a rectangular shape. This diamond has cropped corners and a stepped square cut, which draws the eye inward towards the center of the stone. Again, as a deep cut stone, especially the "royal" Asscher brand, the Asscher cut does not look as large as a more traditional emerald cut nor as brilliant as a square princess cut. Similarly to an emerald cut, flaws are more readily visible to the eye in an Asscher cut so clarity is of utmost importance.
