Choosing the perfect diamond is a crucial step. We work within your budget to provide you with a selection of high-quality Asscher cut diamonds. Since Asscher diamonds feature step-cut facets, clarity is especially important.

Asscher Cut Engagement Ring FAQ:
What is an Asscher cut diamond?
An Asscher cut diamond is a square-shaped diamond with step-cut facets that create a deep, mirror-like reflection. It was first designed in 1902 by the Asscher brothers and has a vintage, Art Deco vibe. Unlike brilliant cuts, which are all about sparkle, the Asscher cut gives off a more dramatic, elegant glow with its sharp edges and geometric pattern.
How does an Asscher cut diamond differ from an emerald cut?
The Asscher and emerald cuts are similar because they both have step-cut facets, but the biggest difference is their shape and how they reflect light. An Asscher cut is square and has a deeper, more dramatic look, while an emerald cut is rectangular and has a sleek, elongated shape. Asscher cuts tend to have more brilliance due to their higher crown and a smaller table, while emerald cuts emphasize clarity and create a more subtle shimmer.
What settings work best for Asscher cut diamonds?
The Asscher cut has a bold, vintage look that pairs well with classic and detailed settings. Here are some of the best options:
- Solitaire: Lets the clean lines and step-cut facets take centre stage
- Halo: Adds a ring of smaller diamonds to enhance sparkle and size
- Bezel: A sleek, modern choice that fully surrounds the stone for extra protection
- Three-Stone: Complements the Asscher cut’s symmetry while adding side stones for extra brilliance
- Vintage-Inspired Settings: Milgrain details, filigree, and Art Deco styles highlight the Asscher cut’s old-school glamour
What is the ideal length-to-width ratio for an Asscher cut diamond?
For a true square shape, the best length-to-width ratio is 1.00 to 1.05. Anything closer to 1.00 will look perfectly symmetrical, while a ratio slightly above 1.05 might make the diamond appear a little more rectangular. If you want that classic Asscher cut look, staying as close to 1.00 as possible is your best bet.
Do Asscher cut diamonds sparkle as much as round diamonds?
Round diamonds are cut for maximum brilliance, with many tiny facets that reflect light in every direction. Asscher cuts, on the other hand, have larger step-cut facets that create more of a deep, reflective glow rather than a bright, glittering sparkle. Instead of a fiery shine, you get a “hall of mirrors” effect that’s more dramatic and sophisticated. It’s a different kind of beauty—less flash, more depth.
