Nova Asscher — 5ct GRA Certified Moissanite Necklace in Sterling Silver

Description

The Asscher cut was designed in 1902 by Joseph Asscher of Amsterdam — a square step-cut with deeply trimmed corners that creates a hall-of-mirrors effect inside the stone. More than a century later, nothing has replaced it for pure architectural beauty.

The Nova Asscher Necklace by Nuraan features a 5-carat Asscher-cut moissanite with accent moissanite stones, set in 925 sterling silver with rhodium plating. At 5 carats, the Asscher cut’s characteristic step-faceted depth creates long, still corridors of reflected light that shift continuously as the pendant moves. Rs. 48,888. Made to order in Karachi by Nuraan, third generation jewellers since 1947.

The Asscher cut — step facets and the hall of mirrors

The Asscher cut is a square step cut — its facets are arranged in concentric rectangular rows rather than the radiating triangular pattern of a brilliant cut. The result is optical depth rather than surface sparkle: instead of scattering light outward in all directions, the Asscher’s step facets reflect light back and forth through the interior of the stone, creating the effect of looking down a corridor of mirrors that extends infinitely. This quality is most visible in larger stones — at 5 carats, the Asscher cut’s interior depth is fully expressed. This is a pendant that draws the eye inward rather than outward. Its statement is quiet and architectural.

Why 5 carats

The Asscher cut commands attention through the quality of its light rather than its silhouette. At 5 carats, the stone has the physical presence to let that quality be fully visible from a distance. The Nova Asscher Necklace is Nuraan’s most substantial moissanite pendant — a piece built for someone who understands the difference between a big stone and a significant one.

Care instructions

Store in the Nuraan box when not wearing. Apply perfume before putting the pendant on. Wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear. Keep away from pools and harsh chemicals. Rhodium replating covered by Nuraan’s lifetime guarantee at no charge.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Asscher cut the same as an emerald cut?

Related but distinct. Both are step cuts. The emerald cut is rectangular — longer than it is wide. The Asscher cut is square with deeply trimmed corners. The Asscher’s proportions create a more concentrated hall-of-mirrors effect at the centre, while the emerald cut produces longer, more directional light corridors.

Is this suitable for formal occasions?

Yes — at 5 carats in an Asscher step cut, the Nova Asscher Necklace is one of the most visually substantial pendants in Nuraan’s collection. Its architectural quality suits formal and evening wear specifically.
