11.58cttw Asscher Cut I-J VVS1-VS2 GIA Certified Eternity Band
This eternity band (Rosenberg ref. 3882) comprises fourteen individually GIA certified Asscher cut diamonds totaling 11.58 carats, with each stone averaging 0.83 carats. The diamonds are matched across a color range of I–J and a clarity range of VVS1–VS2. At this combined weight and stone count, sourcing fourteen Asscher cuts in closely matched grades is a meaningful challenge — each stone must be evaluated independently to achieve consistent face-up appearance and optical uniformity across the full circumference of the band.
GIA Near Colorless I–J with VVS1–VS2 Clarity
On GIA’s 23-grade D-to-Z color scale, I and J fall within the “Near Colorless” category, occupying grades 7 and 8 respectively. VVS1 and VS2 represent two distinct points on GIA’s clarity hierarchy: VVS1 (Very Very Slightly Included, first grade) denotes inclusions that are extremely difficult to locate even under 10× magnification, while VS2 (Very Slightly Included, second grade) indicates minor inclusions visible under magnification but not detectable to the unaided eye. Across fourteen stones, this I–J / VVS1–VS2 spread delivers consistent transparency and white appearance in a matched set.
Why Asscher Cut for Eternity Band Configuration
The Asscher cut is a square step-cut with 58 facets arranged in concentric rectangular rows, producing a characteristic parallel-line reflection pattern rather than the radial scintillation of brilliant cuts. In a full eternity band, this geometry creates visual continuity: the parallel facet planes of adjacent stones align predictably, producing an unbroken optical rhythm around the entire band. The Asscher’s cropped octagonal corners reduce contact stress between stones in close-set configurations, a structural advantage that round brilliants do not offer in equivalent band spacing.
Platinum Handcrafted Band
Platinum in fine jewelry is standardly alloyed to 950 fineness — 95% pure platinum with 5% ruthenium or iridium — yielding a density of approximately 21.45 g/cm³, roughly 60% denser than 18kt gold. This mass provides reliable structural support for the settings holding each 0.83-carat stone across the full band circumference. Platinum’s naturally white metal requires no rhodium plating and does not shift in color over time, maintaining visual consistency with the I–J near-colorless diamond range. The band is handcrafted, enabling precise calibration of each setting to the individual stone geometry.
