The Ashoka-cut lends its name and was inspired by the original Ashoka Diamond - a 41.37 carat, D colour, Flawless diamond – hailing from the legendary Golconda mines in India, and which was purchased by American jeweller Harry Winston.

This original diamond was named after Ashoka the Great who ruled in India during the 3rd Century BC.

Ashoka the Great was known primarily for his bloodthirsty military conquests, but legend has it after surveying the death and destruction his army had caused in capturing the region of Kalinga, his feeling of remorse was so severe he transformed his ways becoming a pacifist and promoting the spread of Buddhism - believing the true path of enlightenment could only be achieved through tranquility, hence the naming of the original diamond.

Based on the Ashoka Diamond, the New York diamantaire William Goldberg developed and patented the Ashoka-cut in 2000. This cut displays an additional five facets to the 57 facets of brilliant-cuts, requiring the rough diamond to be larger and longer than average, and the cut is known for its typically larger 'spread', enabling the polished diamond to appear larger when viewed face-up.
