Asscher cuts are supposed to be small. They are supposed to be safe. They are supposed to stay under 5 carats.
This one never listened.
21.07 ct D Internally Flawless Type IIa, chemically pure Hand-cut in Antwerp by the last cutter alive who still does every facet by hand and eye GIA: “Exceptional symmetry and optical performance for historical Asscher proportions”
The rough was a flawless 58 ct Type IIa crystal from our permanent DTC Botswana facility in Gaborone. Every factory told us to make rounds. We gave it to the one man left who cuts the way Royal Asscher did in 1902, only bigger.
He took 26 months and 63 % weight loss to finish it. The result is the largest hand-crafted Asscher on earth that is not already in a museum or crown jewel collection.
It throws a perfect eight-pointed star under any light. It will never be duplicated. It will never be priced publicly.
One stone. One buyer. One meeting.
If you have waited your entire life for an Asscher that rewrites the category, this is the end of the search.
