The Asscher cut is renowned for its unique faceting style, characterized by a square shape with cut corners, creating a hall-of-mirrors effect. This particular emerald has a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, meaning that any inclusions in the stone are minimal and not easily visible to the naked eye, preserving the stone's overall brilliance.

The ring is entirely set in 18K yellow gold. The choice of 18K yellow gold as the setting material complements the emerald beautifully, providing a warm and luxurious backdrop that enhances the stone's green hues.

When comparing the light performance of this Asscher-cut emerald to other cuts and styles, it stands out for its ability to capture and reflect light in a manner that creates an almost endless depth. Unlike brilliant cuts, which are designed to maximize scintillation, the Asscher cut emphasizes clarity and color, allowing the viewer to appreciate the internal beauty and glow of the emerald. This unique interplay between light and the stone's facets can often appear more sophisticated and subdued, appealing to buyers who seek elegance over flashiness.
In summary, the men's ring showcases a masterful combination of a spectacular Zambian emerald and expertly crafted 18K yellow gold setting. The Asscher cut not only highlights the emerald’s vivid color and high clarity but also provides a refined light performance that sets it apart from other gemstone cuts, appealing to those with a keen appreciation for the intricacies of fine jewelry.
