Through the years, William Goldberg Diamond Corporation has been known for their expertise on diamonds and diamond cuts and they make very extraordinary and fine jewelry from such precious stones.  And because of their expertise, they have perfected the art of cutting and designing the Ashoka diamonds known as the Ashoka cut.

This type of diamond is known for its rarity and unique beauty. Through the years, it has become an embodiment of finesse and elegance. Because of this, it has become one of the most expensive diamonds in the world. This 41.37 carat diamond was discovered in southern India, in a place called Golconda.

The Ashoka cut, which was a refined version of the traditional antique cut, has an outstanding way of showcasing such exceptional brilliance for a stone such as this. It is shaped with rectangular girdle outline and rounded corners with 62 facets which perfectly displays its brilliance as it captures and disperses light, which makes it appear larger than an emerald cut diamond.

For years, many jewelry stores have been interested in selling a piece with an Ashoka cut. Jewelry collectors would just as much love to secure a piece for them. But this cut has been very hard to find as it is only made available in very exclusive jewelry stores.

Ashoka diamonds brings fire and brilliance and is certainly perfect for any earring, bracelet, cufflink, watch or ring.
