The original diamond cut of this type was a magnificent 41.37 carat D that was absolutely flawless. It was named for a Buddhist emperor warrior whose grandfather founded the Mauryan dynasty. After engaging in fierce battle for many years, he came to understand the importance of peace and went on to build many beautiful and ornate temples that symbolized this realization. This diamond is the embodiment of all these things. It has fierce fire that is tempered by serene beauty, instilling an elegant interplay between the two visual sensations. It is an arresting jewel that is, at once, calming and evocative.
The standards, by which these stunning diamonds are exacted, surpass those of even the most famous manufacturers of diamond jewelry. The diamond’s presence is determined by professionally-evaluated, perfect symmetry and polish that offers scintillating light dispersion and brilliance beyond compare. The angle, size and shape of each unique facet is vitally important to the overall geometric objective set by the highly-skilled diamond cutters who laboriously apply their skill and expertise to achieve the perfect cut.
The William Goldberg Corporation, who has recently recreated, brilliant, the Ashoka Diamond cut has plans afoot to include their version in a line of luxury watches that will include six styles priced upward from $200K.
