carat

Carat weight can appear differently across different diamond shapes such as round brilliant, princess, pear, oval, cushion, marquise, emerald, radiant or heart. A diamond may have a higher carat weight without appearing larger and two diamonds of the same carat weight can vary in size if one is cut deeper than the other. In other words, it is important to note that carat weight does not necessarily denote size.

color

Color refers to the natural tint inherent in white diamonds. In nature, most white diamonds have a slight tint of yellow. The closer to being “colorless” a diamond is, the rarer it is. The industry standard for grading color is to evaluate each diamond against a master set and assign a letter grade from “D” (colorless) to “Z” (light yellow).

The most critical aspect with Color is to determine if it appears colorless in relation to its setting.

The large open faceted structure of the Asscher Diamond has the same consequence on color that it does on clarity. Meaning that, due to its structure, the colour present in an Asscher Diamond is more visible than many of the other traditional diamond shapes such as round and cushion

clarity

Diamond clarity is a measure of the purity and rarity of the asscher diamond, graded by the visibility of these characteristics under 10-power magnification. An asscher diamond is graded as flawless if, under 10-power magnification, no inclusions (internal flaws) and no blemishes (external imperfections) are visible.

The open facet structure of the asscher diamonds means all the inclusions of the asscher diamond are highly visible as there is no place for inclusions to hide. For this reason, clarity is arguably more important than color and carat while buying an asscher diamond

Choosing the clarity of the diamond for your ring is entirely down to personal preference. Some buyers are entirely indifferent to inclusions that are not visible to the naked eye and some buyers are interested in diamonds that are completely or near flawless

Why is the polish for a Asscher Diamond important?

The diamond polish refers to the finish done on the asscher diamond’s surface after it has been cut. The facets of the cut diamond are polished so that it reflects and refracts the optimal amount of light.

Why is the Symmetry for a Asscher Diamond important?

Symmetry refers to how precisely the various facets of an asscher diamond align and intersect. An asscher diamond with poor symmetry may misdirect light that travels into the diamond, sending it off at slightly wrong angles, and thereby reducing the diamond's sparkle.

The role of Fluorescence in a Asscher Diamond

Fluorescence is the propensity of a diamond to emanate a (soft) glow when presented to Ultraviolet light (UV light). At the point when UV light hits an asscher diamond with fluorescent properties, the diamond emanates a glow. Regularly blue, it can likewise be shades of green, yellow, white or red. Fluorescence can happen in various forces. Gemological labs like the GIA rate diamond fluorescence on a scale from "None" to "Very Strong".
