Asscher Diamond

• The Asscher cut diamond was first designed in
  1902 by the Asscher Brothers of Holland, popular
  at the time for cutting the world's biggest
  difficult stone (the Cullinan, at 3,106 carats).
  Asscher cut gemstones initially actually peaked
  in reputation in the 20's, and could recently be
  found only in vintage jewelry stores. Around
  2002, one hundred years after the first Asscher
  cut diamond was designed, the form started to
  make a return, stimulated on by cut variations
  that provided the form more elegance than
  conventional Asscher cut diamonds.
• The modern Asscher cut diamond rock is similar to
  a rectangle ruby cut, usually with bigger step
  aspects, a higher crown, and a compact sized
  desk. This combination often generates more
  elegance than the emerald cut. A well cut Asscher
  will appear to have concentric pieces as you look
  down through the desk, the result of proper
  placement of the pavilion aspects beneath. Like
  the ruby cut, the Asscher cut has popped corners
  however, because an Asscher is rectangle, the
  popped sides give the Asscher cut a somewhat
  octagonal in shape form. Once installed in a four
  prong establishing, the precious rock preserves
  its unique form within a rectangle figure.
