Where are the Aascher cut brown diamonds???

[atlantaantiquer]

My lady friend is enamored of an brown diamonds in a more contemporary rose gold setting so I thought I'd start trying to locate a loose stone and then try and find the mounting. She likes the aascher cut but I've found VERY few natural brown diamonds that are aascher cut. By the time you knock out the champagne/cognac/yellow/orange browns, there's nothing to choose from! Are Aaschers more difficult to cut, just less popular, or is there some other reason I'm having problems finding a 1-1.75 CT medium brown Aascher??? Any insights you could provide/sources you could suggest would be appreciated!!! Atlantaantiquer

Well if you're eliminating most types of browns just exactly what color brown are you after?

First of all, there are fewer asschers, period. Well cut asschers are relatively hard to find. Once you add on a very particular color, you are pretty much looking for a needle in a haystack. Your best bet is talking to Jonathan at Good Old Gold and having him cut one for you. However, in that case, you will not know the exact color until the stone is cut. So I am going to suggest either go with an I-J color asscher and get people here to help you find one (which might take some time), or look at all shapes of brown diamonds until you can find one that is nicely cut with the color you want.

Not an asscher and maybe a bit out there (depending on the lady's taste), but this is spectacular and very unique:
