Asscher-cut Diamond

Named after its inventors, legendary diamond cutters Abraham and Joseph Asscher, this cut was introduced in 1902. Often simply referred to as "Asschers", diamonds of this cut are square emerald-cut with cropped corners. When looking directly into a well-cut Asscher, one can see an illusion likened to a hallway of reflecting mirrors. New cutting techniques are yielding Asschers of stunning brilliance. Sparkle and art deco allure make Asscher-cut diamonds extremely popular in today's market.
