I was in Toronto this weekend and I just wanted to say that while I was there, I finally saw a Royal Asscher in person. It was a 1.5, G color VVS (I`m pretty sure that`s what the saleperson said - the whole thing was a blur). If anybody has any doubt about the performance of a Royal Asscher (fire, brilliance), let me tell you something; I was blown away. Seriously. I am now an Asscher lover above anything else. What a classic cut. It has this way of pulling you inward into its depth. I stared at it for what seemed like an eternity, until my friend started nudging me away, embarassed because of the trance that I was in.  I`m in love. Just thought that I`d share this experience with you all. Nobody I know has a diamond fixation like I do.  Oh, and the price: $46,000 (Canadian) Is this the avarage cost of a RA? I know Birks has a high markup but does a stone like the RA set standards for its prices on their own stones or can Birks sell them at whatever price they want? I`m curious to know. Thanks, Cachette |

Welcome to the Royal Asscher lovers' club! They do cost more than the regular square emerald cuts because they have a brand name and the cut is patented. Some stores will negotiate the price with you - it depends on each store's policy. It never hurts to ask whether they could discount the price.
