Like the cooler, sexier sister of the princess cut, the Asscher cut diamond is one of those diamond designs that never really went out of style.
Originally created in 1902 by the Asscher brothers in Amsterdam, its geometric symmetry and clean lines became a hallmark of the Art Deco diamond era. Today, more than a century later, the Asscher cut engagement ring still feels fresh, modern, and super chic.
Softer than a square cut diamond, the Asscher sits somewhere between an octagon cut and an emerald cut diamond. Its stepped facets create a subtle hall-of-mirrors effect, giving a softer sparkle and a more relaxed level of bling, making it easy to wear in larger sizes without feeling overwhelming.
I’ve selected my top 5 Asscher cut diamond engagement rings; from minimalist single-stone settings to sculptural bands and unexpected yellow gold frames, each ring celebrates what makes the Asscher so distinctive: structure, precision, and light.
This Asscher cut diamond engagement ring by Rachel Boston showcases a 2.04 ct champagne diamond in 18ct yellow gold, combining soft colour with an Art Deco-inspired setting.
Each of these Asscher cut diamond engagement rings feels fresh yet familiar - the art deco style gives structure and weight to the ring, and the subtle sparkle of the asscher cut brings a quiet sense of confidence.
Whether you’re drawn to a bold yellow gold setting or a refined platinum design, the Asscher cut offers a timeless balance of relaxed structure and elegance.
