Asscher Cut: A Sophisticated and Stunning Diamond Style
Asscher cut diamonds are most likened to the emerald cut, except Asscher diamonds are square rather than rectangular. Developed by the Asscher family in 1902, an Asscher cut diamond features cropped corners and mesmerising lines which naturally draw attention towards the centre of the diamond. This visual design makes looking at an Asscher cut diamond like getting drawn into an enchanting diamond maze.
At GS Diamonds, we’re proud to offer an extensive collection of Asscher cut diamonds, all sorted by quality cuts, clarity, colour, and carat for your convenience. Buy our Asscher diamonds on their own or create a custom Asscher diamond ring with us — there are no limits with GS Diamonds.

Frequently Asked Questions
What certification do your Asscher cut diamonds carry?
All the loose diamonds that you see in our online inventory come with the original GIA Grading certificate, which is the most trusted grading report in the world. Most diamonds are laser inscribed on the girdle with their identification sign for your peace of mind.
GIA provides the best help with their clarity grades. Still, it is essential to know that each buyer will have an individual desire. The catalogue provides a universal guide for deciding clarity in round diamonds.
Â
How much do Asscher cut diamonds cost?Â
The price of your genuine Asscher diamond will depend on several key factors. For example, the carat weight and colour could be the difference between a $1000 Asscher cut diamond and a $5000 one. As with all our diamonds, we recommend keeping the ‘4 Cs’ in mind when you shop for your Asscher diamond:
- Carat — how a diamond is measured (and the size).
- Cut — how well the diamond is cut (including the height, depth, and angles — affecting the symmetry, brightness, and shine of the diamond).
- Colour — judged on a scale from D (no hue) to Z (yellow hued).
- Clarity — how many blemishes the diamond has (from included to flawless).
Once you’ve worked out your 4 Cs, you can find exactly what you’re looking for, right here with GS Diamonds.
Â
How important is carat in an Asscher diamond?
For Asscher cut diamonds, carat weights are incredibly specific — with near millimetre measurements that compare to real carat weights. To get your desired carat, we recommend examining a chart of the recommended Asscher cut diamond sizes and their carat weights. For all sizes and shapes, please visit our list of Asscher diamonds — or chat with an expert gemologist — if you have a particular stone in mind.
Â
How important is clarity in an Asscher diamond?
Clarity is perhaps the most important factor of any Asscher style diamonds. The style of Asscher diamonds make clarity characteristics and additions more apparent. We recommend that you never go under VS2 clarity when purchasing an Asscher cut diamond. VS2 Asscher cuts make the shape of the diamond appear clearer and brighter. It’s not difficult to find an Sl1 ranked Asscher cut that is clear to the naked eye, but it’s better to order VS2 clarity or higher. Whatever you choose, however, your Asscher cut diamond is sure to look great with the right setting and ring — and any additions or unclear cuts can always be covered with special engagement ring frames.
Â
What colour should I pick for my Asscher diamond?Â
Colour tends to show much more easily in Asscher diamonds, which have larger facets than many other cuts. While your choice of colour is entirely up to you, we recommend buying anything over a ‘H’ rating, and certainly no more than ‘I’. If you’re unsure, we strongly advise working with a gemologist who can examine the gem tone and help you choose the best colour. Or, check in with the experts at GS Diamonds for advice.
