DIAMOND SHAPE

The Asscher cut diamond

Square with cropped corners and step-cut facets, the Asscher cut carries the understated, graphic elegance of the Art Deco era.

Origin

Created in 1902 by the Asscher brothers in Amsterdam, one of the oldest patented fancy cuts. Its golden age: the 1920s, at the height of Art Deco.

Character

A "step cut", like the emerald but square: wide staircase facets create a hall-of-mirrors effect, deep rather than sparkly.

Ideal for

Those seeking a confidently vintage style, with an almost hypnotic transparency when the stone is clean.

Dealer's tip

The large open facets forgive nothing, on this cut more than any other, I'm uncompromising on clarity before offering a stone.
