FAQs

D is valuable because the asscher's step-cut facets act as a window, showing body color more transparently than brilliant cuts. Like the emerald, the asscher reveals color openly. At D, the windmill-pattern facets showcase pure, ice-white colorlessness in every reflection of the hall-of-mirrors effect, making the most of the asscher's transparent beauty.
At D, the asscher shows no color because D is absolutely colorless. The asscher's greater color transparency is irrelevant when there is no body color to display. The windmill pattern reflects only pure, clean crystal. The shape's color sensitivity only matters at near-colorless grades (G and below).
VS1 is the recommended pairing. Like the emerald, the asscher's step-cut facets can reveal VS2 inclusions due to their transparency. VS1 guarantees eye-clean quality through the open facet structure. Pairing D with VS1 creates a top-tier asscher maximizing the shape's vintage Art Deco elegance.
At carats, a D color asscher is colorless, meaning it is absolutely colorless with no detectable warmth. Only detectable by trained gemologists with master stones. In white gold or platinum, D color faces up clean and bright. In yellow or rose gold, any faint body color becomes imperceptible against the warm metal. The asscher cut's step-cut facets create elegant reflections of the metal color.
