One of the rarest and most sought after diamond shapes available today is the Asscher diamond. This trademarked design was first designed by the Asscher brothers of Holland and only recently gained popularity in the United States, due to exposure on the hit show "Sex and the City."
The Asscher diamond shape is characterized by the square diamond shape with stepped cuts to draw the eye to the beauty of the diamond. It is important when choosing this diamond to ensure that you get a high quality diamond with great color and clarity. The deeply trimmed edges highlight the clarity of the diamond making it a focal point on your hand or any other part of your body. The seventy-four facets that are cut into this diamond shape ensure that you will get a diamond with maximum brilliance and fire.
It is important to buy an Asscher diamond from a reputable jeweler. Certification by the Gemological Institute of America or the High Council for Diamonds In Antwerp, Belgium will ensure that you are getting a high quality Asscher diamond and not a lower quality imitation cut.
