Despite its similar look to the Emerald cut, the Asscher cut is actually squarer and more elongated in proportion. Compared to other diamond cuts, this specific shape has 74 facets and is currently seeing a resurgence in popularity as many famous celebrities around the world are opting to wear it for its vintage look. The Asscher cut has been around for more than a hundred years and comes in two different types: standard and Royal, the latter of which is the rarer of the two.
