One of the most illustrious diamond families in history, the Asscher family has created diamonds for kings, queens, and emperors for over 150 years, including the famous Cullinan diamond and the British Crown Jewels. In 1980, Queen Julianna of the Netherlands bestowed the Royal prefix on the Asscher family. That is why their signature stone today is called the Royal Asscher cut. Appropriately, the most distinguishing detail on a Royal Asscher is its high crown and wide corners that give the diamond its unmistakable spiraling play of light inside. Every Royal Asscher is cut by the Royal Asscher Diamond Company in Amsterdam, certified by the GIA, and laser inscribed with the Royal insignia to insure its quality and authenticity. Royal Asscher is exclusive in St. Louis to Elleard Heffern Fine Jewelers. diamond guide
