Sizing & Styling +

1.5 carat asscher is approximately 6.5mm square on the face up. The step cut makes the stone read larger than its weight because the surface is unbroken by faceting. Substantial without being heavy. One size fits all ear sizes.

Wears alone as a statement piece. Skip layered ear stacks, the geometry needs negative space around it. The other ear should match, never mix asscher with a different cut on the same wearer.

White gold and platinum read the most architectural and Art Deco. Platinum was the historic metal of choice for asscher in the 1920s, when the cut was invented. Yellow gold gives a vintage warm tone. Rose gold sits romantic. Silver delivers the white gold effect at the lowest price point.

Pairs best with structured outfits, suiting, sharp tailoring, slip dresses with clean lines. The cut clashes with floral prints and romantic styling. Hair up shows the cut best.

Questions
What is an asscher cut? + Asscher is a square step cut with octagonal corners, developed in 1902 by Joseph Asscher in the Netherlands. It uses parallel rectangular facets that produce the famous hall of mirrors effect, infinite reflections looking into the stone. Unlike brilliant cuts which scatter light into sparkle, asscher organizes light into long flashes. It became the defining cut of the Art Deco era and is associated with Elizabeth Taylor's famous 33-carat Krupp diamond.
Why does grade matter more on an asscher? + Asscher's step cut acts like a window into the stone. The wide parallel facets show inclusions and color tint far more visibly than the busy faceting of a round brilliant. A G or H color round looks bright. A G or H color asscher looks visibly warm. The same applies to clarity. This is why we hold E to F color and VS plus clarity on every asscher, even though the cost is higher. On this cut, you see what you paid for.
Are lab grown diamonds real diamonds? + Yes. Lab grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds. A gemologist cannot tell the difference without specialized equipment. The FTC confirmed their equivalence in 2018. IGI grades them on the same cut, color, clarity, and carat scale as mined stones. The only difference is origin.
What are guardian backs? + Guardian backs are a secure earring closure with a flat backing disc that prevents the earring from sliding forward off the post. Combined with the screw or threaded post, they hold heavy stud earrings in place far better than standard friction backs. Standard on every Draco stud over 1 carat per ear.
Which metal should I choose? + White gold and platinum let the asscher's geometry do the work, the cleanest, most architectural look. Yellow gold warms the stones and reads more Art Deco vintage. Rose gold sits romantic. Platinum is the most hypoallergenic option, ideal for sensitive ears and the historic metal of choice for asscher cuts in the 1920s. Silver delivers the white gold effect at the lowest price point. All gold options are solid 10K, 14K, or 18K, never plated.

We are committed to making your entire experience a pleasant one, from ordering to delivery.

Every Draco Diamond piece is built to last. Solid gold settings, not plated. Prongs set to hold. Clasps and links engineered for daily wear, not display. Each stone is IGI certified VS+ clarity minimum, E-F color, individually verified against its grading report before it ships. If a piece does not meet that standard, it does not leave. What arrives at your door is built the way a piece at this price point should be built — and backed by a lifetime authenticity warranty if it ever falls short.

Your piece does not exist until you order it. Every Draco Diamond is made to order in 1 to 2 weeks, then inspected against its IGI certificate before it ships. This is how we guarantee you receive a new piece built to your exact specifications, not something pulled from inventory that has been handled before.

Made to order does not mean harder to return. Our 30-day return window, free prepaid label, and full refund apply regardless of how your piece was produced. If it is not right, the return process is identical to any standard online purchase.

Every order ships free via fully insured carrier with signature-required delivery and real-time tracking. Your piece arrives in 14 to 21 days from order — 1 to 2 weeks production followed by 2 to 7 days shipping depending on your location. All shipments are insured for the full purchase price at no additional cost.

Return shipping is also free. If you need to send a piece back, we provide a prepaid fully insured return label. You pay nothing in either direction.

All shipments arrive in unmarked outer packaging with no external branding or indication of contents. The shipping label shows only our business name. Inside, your piece is presented in full Draco Diamond premium packaging. This protects both security during delivery and the surprise for any gift or proposal.

Return any unworn piece within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. We pay return shipping both ways. We provide a prepaid fully insured return label at no cost to you. No restocking fee. No conditions beyond the piece being unworn and returned with original packaging and IGI documentation.

Made to order does not affect this policy. The return process is the same regardless of how your piece was produced. Email info@dracodiamond.com with your order number and we respond within 24 hours with a return label and clear next steps.

Every Draco Diamond piece is guaranteed to be exactly what its IGI certificate states. Forever. This covers:

  • Diamond specifications — carat weight, color grade, clarity grade, and cut grade match the IGI certificate exactly
  • Metal purity — 10K, 14K, or 18K gold as specified, verified against stated standards
  • Authenticity — every diamond is a genuine IGI certified lab-grown diamond, chemically identical to mined diamonds
  • Manufacturing integrity — settings, prongs, and clasps built to hold

If the piece ever fails to match what is certified, we fix it, replace it, or refund it in full. Your choice. At no cost to you. This guarantee does not expire.

Every diamond is certified by the International Gemological Institute, the world's leading independent grading authority for lab-grown diamonds. Your IGI certificate documents exact carat weight, color grade, clarity grade, cut quality, polish, and symmetry. It is an independent third-party record of exactly what you received.

Every piece is verified against its certificate before it ships. If a piece does not match its IGI specifications, it does not leave. The certificate ships with your order. You can verify any certificate independently at igi.org/verify using the report number on your document.

Every piece arrives in Draco Diamond presentation packaging designed to hold the piece safely and present it well. Engagement rings arrive in a deluxe presentation box ready for a proposal moment. All pieces include the IGI grading report, a Draco Diamond authenticity document, and a care guide. The packaging also serves as long-term storage for your certificate and documentation.
