Asscher Cut Diamonds are extremely popular. It may surprise you to learn that this cut is actually a vintage style with a modern update. The modern asscher cut diamonds have more facets, a larger table, and smaller clipped corners than their vintage counterparts.
You can find a large selection of Asscher Cut Diamonds at Judith Arnell Jewelers in the Pearl District.

Asscher cut diamond engagement rings at Judith Arnell November 26, 2007
The “Asscher cut diamond” was developed in 1902 by the Asscher Brothers of Holland. It is a stepped square cut, often called the “square emerald cut” and like an emerald cut, the Asscher has cropped corners.
This lovely ring is an Asscher cut diamond engagement ring from the Ritani “Endless Love” Collection at Judith Arnell Jewelers.
