Surprise Her with an Asscher Cut Diamond Engagement Ring

The Asscher cut diamond engagement ring is a timeless beauty that has been a favorite since its creation in the early 1900s. The stone's square shape and angled corners give this diamond shape an outline that is almost octagonal and is often compared to the bright and clear emerald cut diamond ring. This shape was chosen when Joseph Asscher realized that he could capitalize on the rough shape of some stones and retain more of the finished diamond.

The 58 facets in the Asscher are created by cutting a series of step-cuts (like stair steps) in three rows on the top of the diamond and three rows on the bottom of the diamond. The intersection of these facets create a concentric pattern of light and dark as seen in the image above. These beautiful facet patterns create a windmill appearance that radiates outward from the center of the diamond.
