Asscher cut engagement rings FAQs
Because of the Asscher’s deeper cut, some of its carat weight is actually concealed from view. This means that, on the finger, an Asscher ring will look smaller than a Round Brilliant of the same carat weight. Consider moving up in carats for a more substantial looking diamond.
Asscher cuts can appear smaller than other diamond shapes of the same carat weight. This is because an Asscher’s cut is deep, not wide; some of their carat weight is therefore concealed from view.
The Asscher cut was invented by Joseph Asscher at the very start of the twentieth century. This cut became increasingly popular during the Art Deco era in the 1920s and 1930s, when style that emphasized geometric patterns, abstract design, and an overall look of fine craftsmanship was at its peak.
Match your Asscher cut engagement ring with a wedding band based on style or metal color. For Solitaire, Halo, or Three Stone engagement rings, for example, choose a petit Eternity, Infinity, or Devotion band in matching platinum or solid gold for the perfect pair. For certain engagement ring styles, like the Signature V or Curator, consider pairing with their matching wedding band styles.
Art Deco engagement rings are inspired by a popular vintage style from the 1920s and 1930s.
Halo engagement rings are quintessential Art Deco style. The circle of diamonds that perfectly surrounds the center stone creates the kind of geometrical pattern that became so popular in this era. The same is true of Three Stone engagement ring settings.
Although nearly any combination of center and side stones would achieve a vintage look, fancy diamond shapes like Pear, Marquise, and Asscher at the center are particularly Art Deco-inspired. The domed elegance of the Curator engagement ring or the geometrical lines of the Signature V or Signature Bezel make them ideal Art Deco rings, as well.
Choosing between an Asscher or Cushion engagement ring is not simply choosing between a rounded or squared shape. Both diamond shapes have an undeniable vintage appeal and feature predominantly in Art Deco inspired engagement rings. Their facets are what make these shapes stand apart from one another the most. An Asscher shaped engagement ring features step cut facets that create a hall-of-mirrors effect in the light, while Cushion shapes feature brilliant facets that resemble crushed ice. Think about the shine you want your diamond to produce before choosing one or the other.
