Shape
Asscher cut diamonds are step cut diamonds. Similar to the emerald cut, they have long rectangular faces that create a hall of mirror effect, however they are square instead of rectangular.
The large open table of an Asscher cut diamond means that any inclusions will be easily noticeable. Therefore, choose an Asscher cut diamond with a VS2 clarity grade or higher. However, a larger diamond will need an even higher clarity grade since inclusions will be more obvious on a larger stone.
Metal
Yellow Gold is a very popular choice for engagement rings. It works particularly well with fancy yellow diamonds or diamonds with a low color grade. The yellow metal will complement a yellow diamond very nicely and will mask the sometimes undesirable hue of a low color diamond.
Although yellow gold looks yellow like the color of gold, it is usually mixed with other alloys such as copper and silver, since pure gold is very soft and easily bent or scratched. The purity of gold is measured in karats. 24K (karat) yellow gold is 100% gold, while 18K yellow gold is only 75% gold.
