Asscher shaped diamond
An Asscher cut diamond is a square, step-cut diamond with clipped corners, sometimes described as an octagonal shape. It's characterized by its large, layered facets that create a hall-of-mirrors optical effect. The shape was invented by Joseph Asscher in 1902 and gained popularity during the Art Deco era.
I or Shaded White (formerly called "Top Crystal")
From diamonds I, the hue is visible from the front for the discerning eye. However, it is still weak enough to go unnoticed if the diamond is very well cut to give maximum brilliance to the stone.
These are very beautiful white diamonds (called "near colorless"), above the so-called "commercial" quality. Certificate always recommended for white diamonds greater than one carat.
Very Small inclusion(s)
Difficult to find with a 10X magnifying glass. Position and number determine the difference between VS1 and VS2. Require a recognized certificate.
