I''m in the market for an asscher-style (a square EC that copies a Royal Asscher - I can''t afford a true RA). It will be in the 2.0 to 2.4 ct. range and of reasonable quality (G, H, I and no worse than VS2).
I''ve learned through other posts to look for low table (high 50''s or very low 60''s) and higher depth (65 or 70) as well as a true square shape with equal Length and Width if I want a rock that roughly copies a Royal Asscher''s dimmensions.
My question is this: looking at the GIA numbers for an Assher-style diamond, is it possible to guage the amount of "FIRE" a particular sq. cut will produce?
In other words: asschers aren''t known for being the most firey, and that''s ok, but what GIA parameters can I look for to get the maximum fire out of an asscher / square EC?
All advice is sincerely appreciated.
