This unique, colorful Blue Zircon is set in a pristine, lace-like platinum and Diamond ring that exhibits the ultimate in fine jewelry craftsmanship.
Custom designed and delicately handcrafted, it is signed S. H. Silver Company 12888. It is only since the First World War that the most commonly seen variety of zircon, the blue, has appeared in jewelry. The most characteristic aspect of zircon is that it has a high degree of double refraction and dispersion, giving the stone great fire.
This stone demonstrates not only this sparkling brilliance, but boasts an extraordinary deep aqua color. Truly this is a collectors stone.
4.09 carat Asscher cut Diamond and Platinum ring
This stunning Asscher cut Diamond is surrounded by an octagonal, micro pavé set diamond frame and gallery containing 162 brilliant cut diamonds.
The diamond is GIA Certified and the ring is signed S. H. Silver Company 9916. The Asscher cut was developed early in the twentieth century by celebrated diamond cutter, Joseph Asscher of the Amsterdam firm, I.J. Asscher. Mr. Asscher is famous for being the person who cut the 3,025.75 carat piece of diamond rough called the Cullinan in 1908. The stones cut from the Cullinan diamond ultimately became the British crown jewels.
The Asscher diamond cut resembles an emerald cut, but is square, with wide step facets and deep clipped corners that make the diamond look like an octagon. The Asscher cut produces more fire than you see in a typical step cut diamond.
As estate jewelers, S. H. Silver Company has been dealing in Asscher cut diamonds for years. Recently this cut has been regaining popularity because of its unique look and pleasing shape. Set in this magnificent hand made mounting, this diamond is truly a one-of-a-kind treasure.
