What is an Asscher Cut Diamond?

An Asscher Cut diamond is a form of a square emerald cut. It would be more accurate to describe them as octagonally shaped diamonds. The first Asscher cut diamond was cut in 1902 by Royal Asscher Diamond Company. Many people believe the Asscher cut diamond is the predecessor to the modern emerald cut diamond. It first emerged on the scene in the early 1900’s and took the market by storm. Today, Asscher cut diamonds make beautiful center stones that have the look of a vintage diamond, with the brilliance of a more modern diamond.

What is the Difference Between the Asscher Cut Diamond and an Emerald Cut Diamond?

The corners of the Asscher Cut are more pronounced than in a square emerald cut, the crown of the Asscher Cut (that portion of the diamond which is above the girdle) is higher and steeper than that of the square emerald cut, and the table percentage is usually smaller than a square emerald cut. Also, the facets running from the corners of the Asscher Cut in the pavilion of the diamond (the bottom of the diamond) usually run all the way into the culet of the diamond, while in the square emerald cut they typically don’t. That gives the Asscher Cut more brilliance than a square emerald cut. However, the square emerald cut will customarily look bigger than the Asscher Cut for the same carat weight.

Buying an Asscher Cut Diamond Ring or Emerald Cut Diamond Ring

Now that you are informed with the origins of the Asscher Cut Diamond & Emerald Cut Diamond let’s learn how to buy one!

Regarding color, clarity, cut, etc., you would be looking for the same parameters regardless of whether you are interested in an Asscher Cut or a square emerald cut. But for clarity, it is possible to find Asscher Cuts with a little bit of a lower clarity but still eye clean, compared to a square emerald cut. That is because the better brilliance of the Asscher Cut will camouflage the inclusions a little better than the square emerald cut.

Note that the GIA will not describe a diamond as an Asscher Cut. They will always use the term “square emerald cut.” So it is essential to look at the diamond and not just the certificate.
