Yes! Asscher cut diamonds are rarer than any of the other common shapes, with only about 2% of the world’s natural diamond rough being cut in this shape.

Asscher cuts reflect a lot of white light, have a subdued look, and were introduced in 1902 as a popular option in Art Deco jewelry. They have very clean lines with a geometric feel.

In the diamond world, we like to say that the asscher and emerald shapes are cousins. The main difference is going to be the shape. An asscher is more square while an emerald is rectangular. Both shapes have long and lean step-cut facets that create a unique look.

If you’re looking for a unique shape that not everyone has, an asscher cut is for you! Just keep an eye on the clarity. Since an asscher is step cut rather than brilliant cut, they are going to be more showy. We recommend looking at a clarity grade of VS1 or higher to ensure it’s eye clean, but with the help of a gemologist using our chat feature, you may be able to find a VS2 or lower that doesn’t have visible inclusions.

Of course! You’ll need an insurance appraisal to submit to the insurance company which can be purchased during the checkout process for $20. Oftentimes, the best place to add insurance on your ring is going to be through your homeowner’s or renter’s policy, but there are great jewelry specific insurance companies as well, like Jeweler’s Mutual.

Since asscher cut diamonds are so unique they aren’t quite as popular as a round, cushion or oval but that doesn’t mean they aren’t a gorgeous option to consider for your engagement ring or an amazing pair of diamond studs.
