An Asscher Cut Diamond Provides A Nice Antique Feel
The Asscher cut diamond is unique that owes its name to Joseph Asscher the person that invented this particular stone way back in the year 1902. This diamond cut has as many as seventy-two facets and the diamond is shaped as a square though thanks to its parallel step facets as well as depth of corners it can be likened to an octagon as well.
Sparkling Diamonds
The true beauty of the Asscher cut diamond lays in the fact that such a cut helps make a diamond sparkle like no other diamond cut. Even though the Asscher cut diamond was very popular during the early twentieth century, its popularity today too is very high despite the appearance of other diamond cuts. As an engagement ring, the Asscher cut diamond makes for a very popular choice because of the type of brilliance that is obtained from this particular diamond cut.
Another reason why Asscher cut diamonds are so much sought after is because they provide a feel of an antique jewelry piece, which can be ascribed to the fact that the style incorporated in its heydays has not changed much and so this diamond cut has a decided antique feel and value as well.
The Asscher cut diamond is of course quite similar in appearance to the emerald cut diamond though it is also a forerunner of the emerald cut diamond. At the time that Joseph Asscher developed his unique cut, there was also a change taking place in the method of cutting diamonds. Still, the Asscher cut diamond continues to keep its original square shape though at the same time it also means that the table is small while corners are more dramatic.
You can easily find an Asscher cut diamond at most antique shops and mostly the stones will be of a larger size with many being of as many six carats in weight. You can be sure that a properly cut Asscher cut diamond will provide outstanding brilliance and the dispersion obtained too is second to none. The only sad thing about the modern Asscher cut diamond is that the original cut has been compromised in order to suit contemporary designs.
The radiant cut diamond, though the term might sound a trifle trite, refers to a particular shape of diamonds that helps ensure greater brilliance of the diamond. In fact, this type of diamond cut is more contemporary and only became known in the year 1977 when it was first developed and then patented.

The Wedding Singer [VHS] $0.79 You’re better off having been born after, say, 1965, if you really want to enjoy this corny romantic comedy and its abundant references to the MTV culture of the mid-1980s–and even then the odds are only 50-50 that you’ll have a shamelessly good time.
