Asscher Cut Diamond Engagement Ring
Asscher cut engagement rings make for the ideal vintage design. Similar to an emerald cut diamond, asscher diamonds show an intricate step-cut design that creates a ‘hall of mirrors’ effect. The Asscher cut diamond engagement rings are rare, unique and is known for its distinctive style. Like the Princess cut diamonds, Asscher cut diamonds are also square in shape but have neatly trimmed edges arranged in steps. The facets of these steps in the perimeter are wide which makes the table smaller but gives depth and weight to the whole design.
The Asscher cut dates back to the early 20th century when jeweller and diamond cutter, Joseph Asscher, developed the design in his Amsterdam atelier. This new design coincided with the birth of the Art Deco movement. They look very similar to the emerald cut, the difference being that they have a square shape with more rounded edges. They look best when used in an open prong setting or in a halo setting which adds to the brilliance of the Asscher diamond.
A more unconventional choice, these types of engagement rings are perfect for those looking for something a little different to the classic round cut diamond. Asscher diamonds became widely popular in the 1920s due to their clean-cut tapered design. For this reason, you’ll often come across asscher diamonds in antique style engagement rings.
