Asscher
K diamonds embody a classic and yet contemporary allure with
its sleek and square edges, a unique diamond unlike others.
It is sometimes referred to as the square emerald cut. The
Asscher cut was created by Joseph Asscher in 1902, a world-renowned
diamond cutter. Asscher K diamonds has 49 facets accompanying
its signature high crown and steep pavilion. Its uniqueness
comes from the step facets giving a concentric square pattern
when viewed from the top. The eye seems to be drawn into the
center of the diamond. Precision cutting is extremely important
as the flaws and inclusions are easily seen. All of La Splendour’s
Asscher K diamonds carry GIA certificates with excellent polish
and excellent symmetry. |
