Asscher Cut Help (URGENT)

AsscherShopper Rough Rock Total Posts: 4 Last Post: 11/7/2007 Member Since: 11/6/2007	Hi Everyone!!! First off, this is a great forum and has been very informative to me. However, I have a specific question about a stone: - This stone is at a very high end manufacturer that you would know if I mentioned the family name. - It has been represented to me as an extremely rare cut as it is shallow, bright, and very asscher like THE STONE HAS EARNED a "IDEAL" RANKING with their signature embelem - It came from a very large stone and was the smaller part section of the natural double pyramid shape raw stone, and hence has interesting dimensions - I do trust this Jeweler by their reputation and longevity.... but.... Here are the specs (question at the bottom) Square Emerald Cut 2.60ct 4 Steps on the Pavillion 3 steps on the Crown 8.24mm x 8.23 mm x 4.50 D SI1 VG/VG/None 61% Table 55% Depth CAN a 55% asscher like cut be considered good? (Note I am asking is it possible, not is it the ideal cut, or normal cut) It is a gorgeous stone with nice large cropped corners, has the repeating squares, the windmill pattern, etc.... from the top it looks like a full 3ct stone. It is priced at ~$10,500/ct which i think is a very good value Thoughts? Best, Jon - - - The Asscher Shopper

strmrdr Ideal Rock Total Posts: 23,296 Last Post: 10/9/2009 Member Since: 11/1/2003	$10,500/ct is low almost too low.... 12k would be closer to average. If you have seen it in person and are satisfied with it then buy it. Post pictures! ........... Karl has joined the diamond trade and is now posting as Karl_K

AsscherShopper Rough Rock Total Posts: 4 Last Post: 11/7/2007 Member Since: 11/6/2007	Yeah i saw it last night under the bright lights and it looked rediculous. I am going back to see it again tomorrow under ambient light from a window around noon. Hopefully it goes well and I buy it. Otherwise I'm back to square one (which means dealing with a few reputable guys above 5th Ave in NYC) Not too many good 2.5ct asschers around the city.
