What Is an Asscher Cut Diamond?
The asscher cut diamond is a square step-cut diamond featuring cropped corners and approximately 58 facets arranged in concentric squares. Originally developed in 1902 by the Royal Asscher Diamond Company, the asscher cut is celebrated for its deep pavilion, high crown, and distinctive optical pattern that creates a captivating windmill or starburst effect when viewed from above.
Its clean geometric lines and open facets make clarity a defining characteristic of the asscher cut, rewarding high-quality stones with a breathtaking depth and brilliance that is entirely its own.

How to Choose the Best Asscher Cut Lab Grown Diamond
Prioritise Clarity Above All
The open step-cut facets of an asscher diamond make inclusions more visible than in brilliant-cut diamonds. VS1 or higher clarity is generally recommended to ensure the diamond appears clean and bright to the naked eye.
Choose the Right Length-to-Width Ratio
A length-to-width ratio between 1.00 and 1.05 is ideal for a perfectly square asscher cut. Ratios slightly above 1.05 will produce a more rectangular appearance, which some buyers prefer for a modern twist on the classic shape.
Prioritize Symmetry and Polish
Since asscher diamonds do not receive an official cut grade, symmetry and polish are key quality indicators. Excellent or Very Good symmetry and polish grades are preferred for optimal visual performance and the characteristic windmill pattern.
Select Color Carefully
For many buyers, E–F color offers an excellent balance of beauty and value. The open facets of the asscher cut can reveal color more readily than brilliant cuts, making a higher color grade particularly worthwhile for this shape.
