The British Crown!


The Asscher is a distinctive diamond, with a number of unique
identifiers. When choosing the setting for an Asscher, it is important
to make certain that the blocked corners are not hidden. It is these
blocked corners that add to the unique quality of the Asscher cut
diamond. Yet another of the singular aspects of the Asscher is found in
the shape and faceting of its pavilion. The pavilion is faceted in a
"scissor cut" fashion, in which the step cut is used to facet the
pavilion down to the culet.
