It is common for people to mistake the cut of the diamond for its shape and you thus have them saying that a particular diamond is a round cut when it is the spherical shape that they have in mind. The cut essentially talks about the faces of the diamond, the different angles it lends to the stone and the depth of the stone after having been carved from its original crystal. These cuts have a bearing in the manner the diamond allows light to enter and exit it and if a diamond has been cut very deeply, the light is not held within the diamond and escapes through the sides lending it a diffused and sparkles look.

However, if a particular diamond has been cut superficially, the light will then easy access and again escape through the bottom making the stone appear listless. A good cut is that which enables the passage of light from the top, allow it to reflect and exit again from the top of the stone. This kind of a cut gives the stone adequate sparkle and makes it look very lively. One such cut is the Asscher cut that is applied on a rectangular shaped stone and is responsible for the luminous sparkle that such diamonds have.

The shape of the Asscher crystal is very unique with many trimmings at its borders giving it an octagonal shape. This cut is also referred to as the square emerald cut and due to this exclusive cut, these diamonds can be bought without the need to do any embellishments or modifications. You also need not purchase any accessories for such diamonds. It is entirely the buyer’s prerogative though to have any additional specifications and since these are not the usual stones that can be purchased off the shelf and are customized as per individual taste, every piece is special and exclusive. The asscher cut is also unique due to the many parallel lines that give it the sophisticated look and it appears as if the stone has many mirrors each reflecting various angles and sides.

Asscher diamond stones are desired by couples as they convey deep personalization and style. You would naturally want to gift the best for your partner and gifting these types of diamonds displays the love, individuality and affection you have for your partner. These stones by virtue of their uniqueness and specialized cut are not very common and you need to rely on reputed jewelers to pick up the genuine one or else you may get duped.
