With its geometric beauty, captivating sparkle, and art deco appeal, the Asscher cut is a top choice for those who want something timeless yet unique.

Whether you're searching for Asscher cut engagement rings, wedding bands, or classic diamond rings, this shape offers a regal, vintage charm that has stood the test of time.

In this guide, we’ll explore the history, appeal, and modern trends of the Asscher cut, and introduce you to some of our most loved collections, including our pear-shaped wedding set, radiant diamond engagement ring, and emerald set.

 

What Is an Asscher Cut Diamond?

The Asscher cut was first introduced in 1902 by the Asscher Brothers of Holland, known for their expertise in cutting diamonds with exceptional symmetry and brilliance. It's a step cut, similar to the emerald cut, but square in shape with deeply trimmed corners, forming a mesmerizing octagonal appearance.

With 58 facets arranged in a unique layered pattern, the Asscher cut creates a "hall of mirrors" effect—drawing the eye deep into the center of the stone. This makes the Asscher cut diamond ring both elegant and striking.

 

Why Choose an Asscher Cut Diamond Ring?

Here are some reasons why Asscher cut diamond rings are gaining popularity:

 

1. Timeless Elegance

The clean lines and symmetrical form of the Asscher cut evoke a classic, vintage aesthetic. It's ideal for brides who love the glamor of the 1920s and 1930s or who appreciate architecture-inspired designs.

 

2. Exceptional Clarity

Because it’s a step cut, the Asscher cut highlights the diamond’s clarity more than its brilliance. That’s why higher clarity grades are often recommended—but the reward is a stunning window-like view into the heart of the stone.

 

3. Versatility in Settings

Asscher cut diamonds look beautiful in a variety of settings—from solitaire and halo designs to vintage-inspired and modern minimal bands. Whether you're considering Asscher cut wedding rings or engagement pieces, they adapt beautifully to different styles.

How to Choose the Perfect Asscher Cut Engagement Ring

 

When shopping for an Asscher cut engagement ring, consider these tips to ensure you're getting a stone that truly stands out:

• Clarity: Because of the step-cut facets, inclusions can be more visible. Go for VS2 or higher clarity for a clean appearance.

• Color: The open facets also reveal more color, so consider H or better for a whiter look.

• Cut Proportions: Look for a square shape (length-to-width ratio close to 1.00) for a balanced, symmetrical appeal.

• Setting Style: Asscher cuts pair beautifully with halos, side stones, or three-stone settings that add extra sparkle and dimension.
