A particular cut of diamond admired by Josephs clients and close to the heart of many of Josephs staff, is the asscher cut. Chosen for its purity and unique cut, enabling Josephs to source an unsurpassed collection of loose asscher cut diamonds from 0.25 carat to 2.00 carat. |

The "Asscher cut diamond" was developed in 1902 by the Asscher Brothers of Holland. It is a stepped square cut, often called the "square emerald cut" and like an emerald cut, the asscher has cropped corners. Until recently, very few stores carried asscher cut diamonds. But the asscher cut has rapidly gained popularity as it was featured on the television show "Sex & and the City" and stars such as Kate Hudson have received asscher-cuts as engagement rings. |
