Asscher Cut Diamond
A square step-cut diamond known for its geometric symmetry and deep visual effect that creates a captivating layered light pattern.
Overview
Asscher cut diamonds are a square-shaped step cut defined by their deep structure, cropped corners, and strong geometric symmetry. Developed in the early 1900s, this style is closely associated with Art Deco design and architectural elegance.
The cutting technique produces a distinctive visual quality, as light travels inward through concentric facets, producing a sense of depth and dimension rather than sharp sparkle. This results in a bold, structured aesthetic.
Due to its open and transparent facet arrangement, clarity plays a major role in its overall beauty. The institute examines these diamonds for symmetry, optical depth, and historical importance.
