DATE: Art Deco, c.1930

The Asscher Cut is one of my favourite; they visually encapsulate the clean lines and geometry of Art Deco design (although were invented around 20 years earlier), while the profile isn't a million miles of a cushion shape old cut. Good ones are difficult to come by (only 2% of diamonds are fashioned as asschers), and this one's really quite special. It's a shade over 1 carat, on a GIA as internally flawless (IF clarity) and I colour. Well proportioned, with excellent symmetry and polish and no fluorescence. Ready to be set into the ring/pendant/whatever else of your dreams.
