The Rarity of the Ashoka Cut Diamond

The rare  Ashoka Cut Diamond is  precisely cut using an extra long rough cut,  a difficulty level that makes  these precious jewels particularly rare and highly esteemed.  Facet placements are meticulously created to provide maximum brilliance and sparkle.  The final product imparts an inventive effulgence of spectacular light  found in no other cut of diamond.  The cut is timeless, yet unusual enough to be highly esteemed by the  contemporary lover of diamonds.

The ingenious symmetry and strategically placed angles of this diamond cut have ranked its inclusion among the most highly sought jewels in the world.  No other cut can lay claim to this kind of beauty and shine.  When combined with perfect color, carat weight and clarity, these gems become works of highly valued art.

It is said that diamonds are the best conductors of heat in the world.  This cut appears as though it has millions of burning stars captured within a tiny crystal vessel. As the light reflects through the facets, it gives the appearance of movement and seems to come alive and dance with brilliance and shine. This quality is what imparts these diamonds with their highly-desired  characteristics of  unusual beauty and makes them so highly coveted. 

These uniquely cut diamonds have achieved remarkable fame for their flawless beauty, recreated by William Goldberg and Company with slight modifications that make them sparkle even more than before.  Even America’s most famous jewelry company cannot boast of this exclusive cut and design in any of their highly acclaimed diamonds.  William Goldberg managed to slightly round the corners of the original design in a way that refracts the light into an even more dimensional effect resulting in a diamond like no other.

Another exclusive aspect of the rare  Ashoka Cut Diamond is that the cut, and the manner in which the light is refracted through the interior surfaces, causes it to appear almost 30% larger than diamonds that are cut using  in the rectangular emerald cut configuration.
