Wholesale, Lab-Grown
Wholesale Ashoka Cut Diamonds
Natural and lab-grown are two separate lines here, never mixed on one certificate or one price list.
Long, cut-cornered, and heavily faceted. The Ashoka outline is a stretched rectangle with rounded ends and a facet count well above what a standard emerald cut carries, which gives it a rare combination: the elongated elegance of a step cut with the light return of a brilliant.
It has always been a small, high-attention shape. Clients who ask for it usually saw one somewhere and want that specific look, not something similar. For a jeweler that is good news, because the sale is largely made before the client walks in, and bad news if you cannot source the stone.
Natural production in this style is limited and expensive. The lab-grown market has opened it up, and we hold over 220 Ashoka cut stones, which is a genuinely deep shelf for a shape most dealers treat as a special order. Everything on this page is lab-grown.
Buying Ashoka Diamonds Wholesale
Face-up spread is the reason to buy this cut, so measure it. A well cut Ashoka spreads long and wide for its weight because the design keeps the pavilion moderate. Compare millimeters against carat weight across a few stones and you will see the range quickly. The ones that spread well are the ones worth paying for.
The corners are rounded rather than sharply cut, and that curve should be consistent on all four. Uneven corners are the tell of a factory that was chasing weight. Because the outline is long, any asymmetry in the corners makes the stone look like it is leaning when it is set.
Clarity is more forgiving here than in a plain step cut. The high facet count breaks up light enough to disguise small inclusions, so a well placed SI1 can face clean where the same grade in an emerald cut would not. Read the plot for anything sitting directly under the center of the table.
Every Ashoka on this shelf is lab-grown, and IGI has graded nearly all of them. Because the shape reads long, most clients who want it want size, so the useful sizes start around a carat and a half. Ask about pairs if you are building earrings, since all matched pairs we stock are lab-grown.
Length-to-Width Ratio
Ashoka cuts run long by design, commonly between 1.50 and 1.90 length to width.
Under 1.40 the stone loses the elongated character that defines the look and starts reading as an unusual cushion instead.
Past 2.00 the outline gets narrow enough that setting becomes awkward and the stone can look thin on the hand rather than long.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Ashoka cut diamond?
An Ashoka cut is an elongated rectangular diamond with rounded cut corners and a high facet count, giving it more sparkle than a standard step cut of the same outline. It faces up large for its weight and is used almost exclusively as a center stone. Our stock in this cut is lab-grown.
How is an Ashoka different from an emerald cut?
The faceting. Both are elongated rectangles with modified corners, but an emerald cut uses open parallel steps while an Ashoka uses many more facets that behave closer to a brilliant. The practical result is that an Ashoka sparkles more and hides inclusions better than an emerald cut of the same grade.
Are Ashoka cut diamonds available lab-grown?
Yes, and that is the entire shelf here, over 220 stones. Lab-grown material has made this outline available at sizes and prices that natural production in the same style never reached. Every stone is separate from our natural line and nearly all carry IGI reports.
