Emerald Cut

This cut’s sparkle pairs beautifully with various other cuts, making it a versatile choice. Radiant cuts are known for their distinctive geometric facet pattern, often revealing a diagonal cross pattern at the center. These gemstones vary in dimensions, from square to slightly rectangular. The Radiant Cut is a luxurious, fancy cut, offering unparalleled brilliance and captivating light refraction.
Asscher Cut
65 Facets
The Asscher Cut radiates vintage elegance, reflecting early 20th-century artistic styles. Historically less common, it gained acclaim through the work of the Asscher brothers of Holland. Commissioned by King Edward VII, they cut the world’s largest diamond, the 3,106-carat Cullinan Diamond. The Asscher Cut features a square shape with truncated corners. These corners strengthen the gemstone, while the angular shape accentuates its clarity.

Its origins trace back to 17th-century France when King Louis XIV sought a unique shape to mimic his courtesan’s smile. The resulting cut, characterized by its slender and elongated form, continues to captivate today. The Marquise Cut’s unique shape gives the illusion of greater length than its carat weight suggests, elongating the finger while maintaining a rich historical backstory. This historically romantic shape is ideal for those seeking to make a vintage impression.
