Asscher Cut
The asscher cut was created in 1902 by Joseph Isaac Asscher.
Asscher cuts are similar to emerald cuts, but are square with larger step cuts, a higher crown and a smaller table. The asscher cut was popular since its creation, but reached the height of its popularity during the Art Déco Era of the 1920s-'30s. Until World War II, the Asscher family had a patent on the cut. |
