Fancier Cut Diamonds.




Asscher Cut: Square cut diamond with 72 facets. The cut's wide step facets and deep clipped corners make the gemstone resemble an octagon. The revival of this kind of art deco style diamond jewelry has been the catalyst to bring the Asscher cut diamond back to the forefront of today’s diamond buying public. The diamond has a basic square outline and step facets, but that is it. The diamond cutter will craft each Asscher diamond with intent on maximizing light performance and beauty. The result is a diamond of incredible beauty and timeless appeal.

Brilliant Trapezoid Cut: The trapezoid cut diamond is a four sided shaped with the top and bottom sides parallel and the other sides slanting inward. The outline looks like a triangle with one of the ends cut off. The trapezoid cut diamonds are used mainly for side stones and are cut in brilliant-cut or step-cut . The brilliant trapezoid looks great with brilliant cut rectangular center stones like radiants and princess diamonds.
