The Asscher’s open, step-faceted table shows the true color and clarity to the viewer, unlike a round brilliant, which can hide a lot behind its faceted pattern. A D color stone stays completely colorless face-up, with no warmth creeping in from any angle, and that is exactly why this grade is in such high demand for the Asscher shape.
To give you an idea in terms of pricing, a 0.27-carat, IGI-certified, Ideal cut, D color, VS2 clarity Asscher diamond runs around $110. This is a useful benchmark, but carat weight has the biggest effect on price within this shape, followed by clarity, then color, since D is the topmost color grade for any diamond.
Because inclusions are easier to spot through an Asscher’s large, open facets, clarity is worth paying close attention to. VS2 and above keep the stone eye-clean at typical viewing distance, even though the cut itself is more revealing than a round brilliant.
Cut quality matters just as much here: a well-proportioned Asscher has a symmetrical step pattern and an even pavilion depth, which is what actually produces that clean, mirrored flash rather than a dull or glassy look.
On the setting side, four-prong mounts show off the cropped corners best and let in the most light, while bezel settings offer more protection for everyday wear, since those corners are the most exposed part of the stone. Many shoppers also pair a D color Asscher with matching trapezoid or baguette side stones for a coordinated look.
