The Asscher Family dynasty to this day continues to have an influence on the diamond industry. Joseph Asscher, at the request of King Edward VII, cut the largest diamond ever found, the famous 3,105-carat Cullinan diamond.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-size: x-small;\">Royal Asscher has also made its mark by refusing to work with conflict diamonds that originate from war torn countries that are unethically sourced and sold to fund warfare and civil destruction. Royal Asscher only sources diamonds from nations that are fully compliant with the Kimberly Process, an international diamond industry initiative to stop the flow of conflict diamonds. One of the company\u2019s founding fathers, Edward Asscher was one of the forefathers of this initiative, Royal Asscher requires that all of its diamonds are labeled by the government at the origination point and securely sealed during transportation. <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt; text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-size: x-small;\">Royal Asscher created their own signature patented cut in 2001, which has 74 facets, that\u2019s 16 more than the traditional cut diamond. &nbsp;It is based on their original Asscher cut dated 1902. The innovation and skill level of Royal Asscher has been passed down from generation to generation.
