Asscher cut engagement rings are extremely fashionable. The Asscher cut has been around for over 100 years, but it was relatively unknown to most in the public until recent years. One of the hallmarks of the Asscher cut is that it works best on diamonds of the highest quality. The cut strongly resembles the traditional cut done to emeralds and it carries an alternative name of the emerald cut. It takes a clear diamond with good color and clarity to carry the cut well. The Asscher cut is not famous for its brilliance, but it does highlight the diamond’s whiteness, luster, and clarity.
