ASSCHER PICK

[diamanda]

What do you guys think of this one? Pic attached. I know NOTHING about asschers..after having spent a ton of time researching RBs. What makes it return more light? I can''t plug in numbers into the holloway cut advisor, right? What''s the most important aspect of the asscher cut? Are rounds more valuable because they are more commonplace and in demand?

Thanks!

Are rounds more valuable because they are more commonplace and in demand? Pretty much.

Thanks!

I''d suggest reading this article by Karl K. about step cuts. It gives some insight into performance of asschers.

I''m not an expert but I do like the shape and pattern''s of this one. The depth and table % are in my sweet spot and the color and clarity are right on. I hope the experts chime in and give you a more detailed critique. Have you seen it in person?

Hi diamanda

Do you have an ASET image and a Sarin scan for the crown height please? Looks like a drop style asscher and it has potential from the photo, see what Karl says as he is the authority.
