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.
