The Asscher cut was created in 1902 by the Asscher Brothers of Holland. It consists of a stepped square cut gem with four cropped corners. Its look is often compared to a hall of mirrors because of depth of field it creates.
The most famous Asscher-cut diamond was worn by actress Elizabeth Taylor. The 33.19-carat Krupp diamond was bought for the actress by Richard Burton in 1968 for $305,000.
It’s Art Deco origins provide an old school glamour appeal and can be seen on today’s celebrities (such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Alba, for example).
Who likes an Asscher cut engagement ring? A woman with an understated yet classic approach to fashion. She probably also has a love for all things vintage and clean lines.
You may be seeing the common safety pin as the new jewelry of choice following the recent U.S. elections. The idea originated in the UK following Brexit. According to the BBC, hate crimes increased after the U.K. voted to leave the European Union.
What does the safety pin represent?
It represents solidarity with people who say they have suffered racism, sexism, xenophobia, Islamophobia and homophobia, among other manifestations of bigotry. The underlying message: I understand and you’re safe with me.
Greetings,
I just wanted to take the time to thank you for all of your hard work in making my vision of a ring a reality. Jen was an absolute pleasure to work with. Through every part of the process, she was always responsive and pleasant, consistently going above and beyond to make sure I was 100% satisfied with my purchase. She made the entire experience a breeze. I couldn’t have chosen my perfect ring without her. I can’t thank Jen and Schubach Jewelers enough!
I will definitely be a repeat customer.
All the best,
N.S.
Why is the heart the eternal symbol of love? Because, let’s face it: real hearts look nothing like the heart symbol. Also strange? Love doesn’t really come from the heart; circulation does. What makes us feel as if the powerful emotion of love emanates from our chest and not say, our brain?
According to History.com:
Scholars such as Pierre Vinken and Martin Kemp have argued that the symbol has its roots in the writings of Galen and the philosopher Aristotle, who described the human heart as having three chambers with a small dent in the middle. According to this theory, the heart shape may have been born when artists and scientists from the Middle Ages attempted to draw representations of ancient medical texts. In the 14th century, for example, the Italian physicist Guido da Vigevano made a series of anatomical drawings featuring a heart that closely resembles the one described by Aristotle.
Since the human heart has long been associated with emotion and pleasure, the shape was eventually co-opted as a symbol of romance and medieval courtly love. It grew especially popular during the Renaissance, when it was used in religious art depicting the Sacred Heart of Christ and as one of the four suits in playing cards. By the 18th and 19th centuries, meanwhile, it had become a recurring motif in love notes and Valentine’s Day cards.
So the heart symbol morphed into being, basically…over centuries. In our studio, it still remains as one of the most popular shape for a gem.
