Asscher-Cut Diamonds are similar to the emerald-cut but square. The ascher also has a pavilion cut with rectangular facets in the same style as the emerald-cut. If you choose SI-clarity be sure to view the clarity plot on the diamond certificate, because this shape highlights the clarity of the diamond. When choosing a color grade, consider that while the price of a J-color non-round diamond is exceptional, color may be slightly visible in its corners.

All Asscher cut diamonds should look square since they are supposed to have a length-to-width ratio of 1.00:1.05.

Asscher cut diamonds have acheived recent notoriety from film star Kate Hudson when she wore her new Assher-cut rock received as a promise ring and after earlier being featured on the the television series "Sex and the City." . With publicity the asher cut diamond has become very popular with more stores carrying this fashionable cut -- thus they are rarer as selection of the asscher diamonds is limited in comparison to that of other more common cuts.

When Choosing an Asscher Cut Diamond remember the way the stone is cut pulls the eye into the diamond and as so the better the quality and the larger the gem stone the more mesmerized will onlookers and gawkers be.
