Carat
Diamond carat (ct) measures a diamond’s weight, with 1 carat equal to 200 milligrams. Carat should not be confused with visible size, as two diamonds of the same weight can look different depending on their shape, cut and proportions. Dimensions are often a better guide to how large a diamond will appear, while higher carat weights generally also come with higher prices.​

A diamond's polish refers to the smoothness of its facet surfaces after cutting. Excellent or Very Good polish means the cutter's wheel has left no visible marks, allowing light to pass in and out cleanly. Poor polish can dull a diamond's brilliance, so it's worth looking for the highest grade your budget allows.

Symmetry
Symmetry describes how precisely a diamond's facets align and mirror one another. Well-symmetrical diamonds reflect light more evenly, maximising sparkle and fire. Minor symmetry variations are often invisible to the naked eye, but Excellent or Very Good symmetry ensures the diamond performs at its best.

Depth %
Depth percentage is the height of a diamond from table to culet, expressed as a proportion of its width. The ideal range varies by shape, but getting it right is critical, too shallow and light escapes through the bottom, too deep and it leaks out the sides. Both reduce brilliance.

Table %
The table is the large flat facet on top of a diamond. Table percentage measures it as a proportion of the diamond's overall width. A well-proportioned table directs light deep into the stone and back to your eye, contributing significantly to a diamond's brilliance and visual impact.

L:W Ratio
Length to width ratio compares a diamond's longest dimension to its shortest, giving you a sense of its outline. A ratio of 1.00 means a perfectly square stone, higher numbers produce a more elongated look. Personal preference rules here, whether you love a classic square or a slender, elegant shape, the choice is yours.

Fluorescence
Some diamonds emit a soft glow, usually blue, under ultraviolet light. In most cases, fluorescence has little effect on appearance in daylight and can even make faint-colour diamonds look whiter. Strong fluorescence occasionally gives a diamond a slightly hazy look, so it's worth considering alongside colour grade.

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.

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.
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.
Asscher cut diamonds have near millimetre measurements that compare to real carat weights. Please examine a chart of the recommended Asscher cut diamond sizes and their carat weights. For all sizes and shapes, please visit our list and chat with an expert gemologist if you have a stone in thought.
It’s advised that you never go under VS2 clarity when purchasing an Asscher cut diamond. VS2 additions in an Asscher cut can surely be seen. 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. In any case, additions located in the corner of an Asscher cut can be covered with special engagement ring frames.
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.
