EMERALD SHAPE
These diamonds emit a different kind of sparkle because of its unique step cuts (emerald cut) of its pavilion. Customer who doesn’t want a diamond with its usual brilliance and fire can choose emerald-cut diamond. This diamond reflects beautiful subtle light with the interplay of dark and light planes, which is called as “hall of mirrors” the shape was originally used for the cutting of emerald, hence the name.

RADIANT SHAPE

ASSCHER SHAPE
These diamonds are more similar to emerald cut with a large crown, high step facets, and a smaller table. However, the combination of steep facets enhances the reflection of fire than the emerald cut. In 1902 it was first created by Asscher Brothers of Holland as a developed version of an emerald cut. Asscher cut diamonds are famous for its antique look. The Asscher-cut diamonds look somewhat octagonal shape because of its square shape and pointed cutlets.
Why Round brilliant cut Diamonds are popular?
In 1911, “Diamond Design“, published by Marcel Tolkowsky: “A study of the reflection and refraction of light in Diamonds”, explained the perfect angles of a diamond to reflect the highest fire and brilliance. His study made a consistent surge in the round brilliant cut diamond market till today.
Why Round brilliant cut Diamonds are expensive?
When a rough raw stone is cut, wastage of the material is high in round diamonds when compared to the other fancy shape diamonds.The yield is relatively low when compared to the market demand, where recent studies show that the two-third of the population prefers to buy a brilliant round cut diamond. Even-though, the most iconic round brilliant cut diamonds won’t have the largest face-up area compared to other fancy shaped diamonds, its intense sparkle makes the diamond appear bigger.
However that said, fancy cut diamonds are also desired because of their unique shape and cut.
