3.00 ct Asscher Diamond

81/100 · Considered

A balanced profile with a few questions to carry forward.

What reads well

  • A 1.03:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic Asscher / square emerald range.
  • Table 66% and depth 68.8% fall in the typical Asscher / square emerald range.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • VS1 clarity is typically eye-clean in an Asscher / square emerald.
  • No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

  • Face-up area is about 12% below typical Asscher / square emeralds of this weight, suggesting hidden weight in depth.
  • J color in a 3.00 ct Asscher / square emerald may show some warmth, especially at the corners.
  • Screening only: windowing, contrast and the step-cut "hall of mirrors" pattern in an Asscher / square emerald can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.

What to check on the exact stone

  • Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
  • With open step facets, is the center completely eye-clean without any visible dark marks?
  • Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
