G color falls closest to the top in the near-colorless range, and in an Asscher shape it still reads as bright and white in most settings. Especially in yellow or rose gold, which naturally masks even the slightest yellowish hues. This makes G color Asscher a popular pick for shoppers who are willing to spend more on carat weight or clarity.
This valuable trade-off is clearly evident here: a 0.73-carat, IGI-certified, Ideal cut, G color, VVS2 clarity Asscher diamond costs around $218. That is a decent-sized stone with a clarity grade so high that inclusions aren’t visible even under a closer look for most out there. Hence, it will sparkle brighter than a colorless stone with lower clarity of the same carat weight, and also cost less.
Given its specific size, the Asscher’s open step facets make every inclusion and any hues of color more apparent. So it’s best to pair a near-colorless grade with a high clarity like VVS2, which makes the stone still appear flawless face-up. It is a hallmark that shows how the 4Cs work together and not separately, and a strong clarity grade can compensate for a slightly warmer color grade without the difference being visible.
As for the perfect setting, a white gold or platinum band will keep the color looking crisp and cool, while yellow or rose gold will bring out any warmth in a flattering way. A four-prong or trellis setting highlights the elongated lines of the cut, and if you go for a larger carat weight, a sturdier mount is an ideal choice to keep the stone secure over years of wear & tear to maintain its shine.
