Asscher Cut

Asscher cut diamonds can be more expensive than some other cuts due to their unique shape and the precision required in cutting them. However, the final price also depends on the diamond's overall quality, including its carat weight, color, and clarity.

Asscher cut diamonds are known for their unique appeal, featuring a deep pavilion and square shape with cropped corners that enhance the stone's clarity and brilliance. They are considered good choices for those who appreciate vintage elegance and a distinctive, sophisticated look in their jewelry.

Asscher cut diamonds do sparkle, but their sparkle is different from the brilliant sparkle of round-cut diamonds. They offer a more subdued, elegant shimmer known as the "hall of mirrors" effect due to their unique step cuts and higher crown.

The main difference between Asscher cut and cushion cut gemstones is in their shapes and facet structures. The Asscher cut is square with deeply trimmed corners, resembling an octagon and features a unique X in its pavilion, while the cushion cut is more rounded, often described as a pillow shape, and has larger facets to increase their brilliance.
