shopping each asscher-cut size in this video is compared to this one carat
diamond on a hand with a size 6 finger this one carat diamond at Kay Jewelers
like most brick-and-mortar jewelry stores is about six thousand six hundred
dollars now also on this video we take those diamonds and compare them to the
exact same quality diamond from a website I will put in the description
below this video this 1 carat is $3,100 this is a point 3 3 or one third carat
asscher engagement ring on the hand and you can barely even tell it's an Asscher
shape at this point another name for asscher diamonds are square emerald
diamonds because the type of cut is like an emerald diamond this point 5 or 1/2
carat asscher diamond is a more common size of a square emerald diamond now one
of the upsides of asscher shaped diamonds is that they are generally less
expensive than equal carats of round cut diamonds that is because round cut does
Sparkle a lot more than asscher-cut diamonds you'd save over 2100 $90 buying
the diamond from my link below next is a point 6 6 or 2/3 carat a sure engagement
ring Asscher diamonds are a more glacier like version of a cushion cut diamond
the difference is cushion cut diamonds have more sparkle or scintillation than
square emerald diamonds here you would save 3420 dollars on this diamond from
the link in the description box below this is a point 8 care a sure shaped
diamond on the finger the nature of asscher shape is that the facets or flat
areas are larger and therefore any inclusion or defect is a lot more
noticeable than on other shapes of diamonds round diamonds tend to hide
these blemishes a lot better than other cuts and because they're so big on
Asscher cuts they are very transparent which tends to accentuate unsightly
inclusions and therefore clarity grade is especially important for asscher-cut
diamonds in fact I don't recommend going below a VS
and clarity grade when buying a square emerald diamond color changes are also
more noticeable in square emerald diamonds because scintillation is
diminished in Asscher diamonds you are more likely to notice color differences
therefore I would just stay in the colorless range of diamonds if possible
colorless diamonds are shades de and F grades next we jump to a 1.75 carat
Asscher diamond on the finger the big issue with special cuts like this is they
don't get official cut grades like round diamonds this is a 2.5 carat asscher-cut
diamond on the finger you'd save over 16,000 dollars buying this diamond from
the link below over brick-and-mortar jewelry stores cut grade is important to
know for two reasons it tells you the most about how much the diamond sparkles
and if the diamond looks as big as the carat suggests watch my other videos for
more on this if you don't have an excellent cut grade that is bad because
diamond companies can play with the cut angles so the diamond isn't as big as
the diamond suggests on the lab certificate which also negatively
affects how much the diamond sparkles all breaking order jewelry stores sell
you diamonds at an inflated rate it costs money to pay for their rent and
their salespeople which all inflate the cost of your diamond my biggest tip when
buying a diamond is to have your significant other go diamond shopping at
the mall with you or her best friend then make note of the diamond specs that
she chose after come back and buy the exact same quality diamond from the link
below this video and you'll save a ton of money or you can spend the same
amount of money that you would have spent at the other diamond store and
getting even bigger diamond that will definitely impress her then just buy a
similar and less expensive band from the website I have linked to below so in the
comments I will answer any of your personal questions about diamonds you
are thinking about buying or doubts you have about what you should do when
