The Ashoka Cut Diamond – A Rare and Priceless Gem

The Ashoka cut diamond is a thing of rare beauty. Designed by the diamond experts at the William Goldberg Diamond Company, the Ashoka cut is a re-invention of the antique cushion cut that has remained so popular over the years. Since introduced to the market, the Goldberg Ashoka diamond has been one of the most sought after diamond cuts in the world.
The Goldberg Ashoka is a modified version of the traditional cushion cut.

Rectangular girdles outline the gem. Rounded corners help capture and distribute light to give off a brilliant shine. Made from an extra-long rough, the design makes use of 62 different facets to make it one of the most radiant diamonds in the world. The sparkle and shine the Goldberg Ashoka cut displays is unparalleled. The 62 facets and shape of the cut make an Ashoka diamond appear 30% larger than an emerald cut diamond of the same carat.

The beauty of the cut is not the only thing that makes the Ashoka cut diamond one of the most sought after gems in the world. Demand for the cut is high, and will likely remain so for some time. The rough used to make the gems, long and over 15 carats, is very scarce with estimates of only 200 such stones found each year. The Ashoka diamond is truly a rare piece of jewelry. Not only does the beauty of the diamond make the acquisition of an Ashoka a great purchase, but the rarity of the gems also make the cut a good investment.
