An Asscher Cut Aquamarine at 4.95 Carats, Internally Flawless
This aquamarine gemstone is cut in the Asscher style, a step cut known for its trimmed corners and layered facets that draw the eye toward the center of the stone. At 4.95 carats and measuring 10 x 10 x 8 mm, it carries an IF clarity grade, meaning internally flawless under standard magnification, which is a high bar for aquamarine and puts this stone well above typical commercial grade material.
The color sits in the light blue range aquamarine is known for, clean and even rather than showing any grey or green undertone. Because aquamarine rates 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs hardness scale, it holds up well to daily wear once set, which is part of why it's a common choice for engagement rings alongside harder stones like sapphire. The Asscher cut in particular is often chosen for its vintage, geometric look, and it pairs well with both classic and modern ring settings. This stone is sold loose, ready to be set into a ring, pendant, or custom jewelry piece of your choosing.
