The double claws protect every corner of the stone and frame its geometric outline, and the plain band keeps the look clean and architectural.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre stone: Asscher cut laboratory grown diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat options: 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour and clarity: E colour, VVS2 clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertificate: IGI, included free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: Double claw solitaire on a slim plain band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetals: 925 silver, 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose and white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade: To order in Surat, India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the asscher\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe asscher cut was created in Amsterdam in 1902 and became a signature of the Art Deco era. It is a square step cut with deeply cropped corners, which gives it an octagonal outline and, looking down into the stone, a pattern of concentric squares often called a hall of mirrors. Instead of sparkle it shows broad, clean flashes of light. Because a step cut shows everything, a high clarity grade matters, and every centre stone we use is VVS2.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy double claws\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach cropped corner of the asscher is held by a pair of claws, so the stone is gripped at eight points and its corners are fully protected. The paired claws also echo the geometry of the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat laboratory grown means here\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA laboratory grown diamond is a diamond. It is crystallised carbon with the same cubic structure, the same 10 on the Mohs scale, the same refractive index of 2.42 and the same dispersion as a mined stone. Ours are grown by chemical vapour deposition and high pressure high temperature methods, then cut and polished by hand. This is not moissanite, not cubic zirconia and not a simulant. A gemmologist testing it will read diamond, because it is diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMetals\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K or 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Yellow gold gives the asscher a warm vintage glow; white gold emphasises its icy Art Deco lines. 10K is the hardest alloy, 14K is the everyday balance, and 18K is the richest colour but the softest metal. White gold is rhodium plated and will want replating every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEvery centre stone arrives IGI certified\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre diamond is graded by IGI, the International Gemological Institute, and the certificate comes with the ring at no extra charge. It states the carat weight, the E colour grade, the VVS2 clarity grade, the measurements and the girdle inscription, and confirms in writing that the stone is laboratory grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run workshop in Surat, India, where most of the world's diamonds are cut and polished. The eight claws are shaped by hand to fit your asscher's corners exactly. Allow two to three weeks for making, plus shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm water, mild washing up liquid and a soft toothbrush. A clean step cut shows its hall of mirrors best, so brush under the stone regularly. Take it off for the gym, gardening and swimming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions we are asked\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat colour and clarity is the diamond?\u003c\/strong\u003e Every centre stone is E colour and VVS2 clarity, on every metal and every carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes an asscher look smaller than a round?\u003c\/strong\u003e It can look slightly smaller face up for the same weight because it is cut deeper, but its outline is bold and distinctive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAsscher or emerald cut?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both are step cuts; the asscher is square and the emerald rectangular.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
