Question 5

What is the difference between an Asscher cut and a princess cut lab diamond?

Accepted Answer

Asscher and princess cut diamonds share a similar-looking shape, which makes them comparable in many settings. However, there are some key differences, most notably a difference in how their facets are aligned. Both Asscher and princess cut diamonds have a square shape with equal length and width but it is really their corners that make all the difference. Where princess cuts have sharp, right-angled corners, Asscher cuts have angled corners that make an octagonal shape. There are also differences in their facets. Asscher cuts have “step cuts,” with straight facets and a larger table size. Princess cuts, on the other hand, are “brilliant cuts” with more fire and brilliance. When it comes to the price difference, Asscher cuts are a little more affordable than princess cuts.
