SOLD.....2.64ct G VVS2 (Blue) Asscher Cut Lab Grown Diamond R10652

I freely admit my infatuation with Asscher diamonds. Well, specifically when they're cut like this one. Like a thousand halls of mirrors.

The facets are perfectly arranged to take advantage of the beautifully proportioned corners.

Oh, and the color? It's amazing. Basically, when boron is present in the HPHT growth chambers, a faint blue hue is imparted on the rough diamond. This eliminates the need for any post-growth treatment. The color is subtle - just like a blue diamond mined from the earth. It's also boron that causes the color blue in earth mined diamonds.

GIA would grade this diamond Light Blue in my opinion. Growers submit the vast majority of stones to IGI as opposed to GIA.

In most cases, we've found IGI to be very close to GIA in terms of accuracy. This is one area where they fall short. Maybe because there are so few natural blue diamonds for comparison.

This diamond is identical to the very best diamond that was mined from the earth in terms of transparency.
