1 Carat Asscher Cut D Color Lab Grown Diamonds

D is particularly valuable because the asscher's windmill-pattern step-cut facets showcase absolute colorlessness beautifully. At 1 carat, the transparent facets display D's purity more openly than brilliant cuts. One carat lab diamonds are a great starting point and were the average diamond size for many decades before lab diamonds came around.

VS1. The asscher's transparent facets demand higher clarity. VS1 guarantees eye-clean quality. Pairing D with VS1 creates a 1 carat asscher maximizing the shape's clean, vintage Art Deco aesthetic across both color and clarity.

The difference between D and E color is virtually impossible to detect with the naked eye in a asscher cut, though step-cut facets can show color slightly more readily. Once set in a ring, both grades appear equally white. Choosing E color over D in a 1 carat asscher can free up budget for a better cut or larger stone.
