Why Women Like Asscher Cut Diamonds

Women love Asscher cut engagement Rings for many reasons one of which is the fact that these diamonds have a quadrilateral shape appeal. quadrilateral shaped diamonds are very much in these days with the upholstery cut and Asscher cut diamonds rising fast in popularity as far as prominent town stones for engagement Rings are concerned. The princess cut solitaire is the most popular quadrilateral diamond, however for sheer elegance and class no other quadrilateral cut admittedly comes close to this pioneeRing step cut. It is not a new solitaire cut by any means but it is an revision over the approved emerald cut shape because of the extra facets on the pavilion and a steeper crown which both add to its increased scintillation when compared to the regular 58 facet emerald cut.

With step cut diamonds like the emerald and Asscher, you typically have to go for a cleaner solitaire since the big quadrilateral facets allow big viewing windows into the stone leaving microscopic chance to hide small inclusions that would otherwise not be graphic in a typical brillianteered solitaire like round brilliants, ovals, upholstery cuts, or even marquise cuts. Women like this aspect of the step cut solitaire because generally speaking when we shop for diamonds we would like the least estimate of inclusions potential to be graphic in our diamond. So when women see a step cut solitaire like an octagon cut they automatically assume that the solitaire is high-quality because women are not apt to choose an emerald cut with clear eye graphic inclusions. In order to avoid this they have to go for a higher clarity grade than they would commonly want to pay for in a solitaire that was not a step cut. So without even having to have great optics and good symmetry, an emerald cut solitaire suggests high quality simply by being an emerald cut diamond.

The same goes for an Asscher cut which is also a step cut solitaire where facets run parallel to each other in big quadrilateral panes albeit smaller ones when compared to an octagon cut. You generally have to get a clarity grade higher than what you would commonly settle for in a regular brillianteered diamond. Although it must be said that with an Asscher cut its increased estimate of facets does allow for some portion of hiding inclusions. You will be able to get away with small inclusions near the girdle of the stone because when you look into an Asscher cut the facet pattern tends to draw an observer's eye down the town of the stone much in the way that dart board with its concentric circles divided up into light and dark panels draws your eye to the bull's-eye town of the board.

Asscher Cut Engagement Rings 101

When shopping for engagement Rings, you are probably used to heaRing words like "round cut", "princess cut", "emerald cut", "oval cut," etc., but what about the "Asscher cut?" The name sounds odd, doesn't it? It's no surprise that most population don't know that there is something called an "Asscher cut" stone or what it is. The truth of the matter is that you've probably seen this single cut before, even if it is less common than other stones. Previously, very few stores carried these stones, but due to some celebrities receiving them as engagement Rings, as well as some placements in very large television shows, their popularity has risen lately. Most jewelers now have Asscher cut stones on hand, or they can indubitably be ordered for you.

The cut was created in 1902 by the Asscher brothers from Holland. The cut is somewhat like a octagon, and some jewelers even call it a "modified upholstery cut" ring. The Asscher cut looks like square-cut with trimmed corners to the naked eye. There are many steps within this Diamond Ring for you.

Many population get confused as to what the inequity is between the square-cut emerald stone and the Asscher stone. Technically, there are two distinct Asscher cuts, though we tend to generalize both into the same lump. The two cuts are the suitable Asscher cut and the Royal Asscher cut. The suitable Asscher cut 58 facets and was never patented. This "square emerald cut" is what we typically refer to as the "Asscher cut." The Royal Asscher cut has a high crown and 74 facets. You can see that the inequity can be like walking a very fine line; however, it generally boils down to the whole of facets within the ring. Both rings, to the naked eye, have very similar shapes and are very often confused with square emerald stones. You can expect to pay a 10-20% selected for Royal Asscher cut diamonds.
