FAQs

Very strong fluorescence is the highest-risk combination for visible haziness in an asscher. The step-cut's transparent windmill-pattern facets display fluorescence effects more openly than any brilliant shape. The risk of milky appearance is elevated. Individual inspection is essential. However, some very strongly fluorescent asschers maintain normal transparency.
Some maintain normal transparency, but the risk of haziness is higher in this shape. If you inspect and confirm clear transparency, you benefit from the lowest pricing and the strongest whitening for warmer colors. However, the asscher's transparent facets make it the least forgiving shape for fluorescence issues.
Very strong fluorescence is generally not recommended for asscher cuts unless you can inspect the specific stone. The transparent windmill-pattern facets are the least forgiving for haziness. If value is the priority, consider strong or medium fluorescence instead, which offer savings with lower risk.
A asscher carries more weight in depth, so it may appear slightly smaller than brilliant cuts. With very strong fluorescence, intense blue glow under UV light, may be visible in daylight. The asscher cut's vintage Art Deco square with a distinctive windmill pattern visible through the table creates a distinctive profile on the hand.
