Diamond Education: The Asscher Cut Diamond
This beautifully unique shape is nearly identical to the emerald-cut. They are
bright, shiny, and clear in appearance. Like the Emerald-Cut Diamonds, they have
the clarity of water, allowing you to see all the way through it. Since
inclusions are obvious, it is important to get as flawless a gem as possible.
Polish and symmetry are two important aspects of the cut. The polish grade
describes the smoothness of the diamond's facets, and the symmetry grade refers
to alignment of the facets. With poor polish, the surface of a facet can be
dulled, and may create blurred or dulled sparkle. It may constantly look like it
needs to be cleaned. With poor symmetry, light can be misdirected as it enters
and exits the diamond.
