Named after and patented by renowned diamond cutter Joseph Asscher, the Asscher cut is similar to an emerald cut only it is square (actually octagonal because of its cut corners) rather than rectangular. Asscher cuts are are almost the personification of art deco, a design movement of the 1920s, so it is also a vintage cut. Asscher cuts are quite rare, with only 2% of diamonds cut into Asschers. They’re also quite costly because a lot of diamond material gets wasted in achieving the cut.
