Asscher Cut Lab Grown Diamonds

An asscher cut lab diamond is a square step-cut diamond with deeply trimmed corners that create a distinctive octagonal outline. Developed by the Asscher Brothers in 1902, it features a unique windmill-like pattern visible through the table that produces mesmerizing depth and a hall-of-mirrors effect. The asscher cut is considered the quintessential Art Deco diamond shape, favored by buyers drawn to vintage elegance.

An asscher cut lab grown diamond requires higher clarity than most shapes because its large, open step-cut facets showcase the diamond's interior very clearly. Inclusions that would be invisible in a brilliant cut are easily visible in an asscher. For an eye-clean asscher, choose VS1 clarity or higher. VVS2 is the ideal sweet spot for a stone that appears flawless without the premium of a Flawless or Internally Flawless grade.

The asscher and emerald cuts both use step-cut faceting, but the asscher is square while the emerald is rectangular. Asscher cuts feature a higher crown, smaller table, and more deeply trimmed corners, producing a more pronounced windmill pattern and greater depth of brilliance. The asscher's octagonal face-up shape gives it a more vintage aesthetic compared to the emerald's elongated, modern profile.

The asscher's Art Deco character and transparent faceting demand higher clarity, and Do Amore's certified inventory lets you verify each stone before purchasing. Do Amore offers a 60-day return policy with no restocking fees.
