Asscher cut diamonds are known most for their squared shape and truncated corners. They feature a flat table, large step facets, and distinct x-pattern in their center.

An Asscher cut diamond is a squared shape known for mesmerizing step facets and Art Deco appeal. This vintage favorite is accentuated in a Halo engagement ring setting. An Asscher cut Halo is the epitome of an Art Deco inspired engagement ring and is ideal for those wanting an heirloom look.

An Asscher cut Solitaire engagement ring highlights its clean lines and x-shaped pattern in a design that will stand the test of time. The hall-of-mirrors effect an asscher creates when catching the light is stunning in a Classic or Signature Solitaire setting, making this particular look sought after time and time again.

Asscher cut diamonds grew in popularity during the Art Deco era in the 1920s and 1930s. When highlighted in vintage-inspired settings, they gain instant Gatsby-inspired appeal. Try Art Deco favorites like the Halo or Bezel, or feature an Asscher cut diamond in a Duet, Signature V, or Hover setting for an heirloom look you’ll adore.

With various side stones to choose from, a Three Stone asscher cut engagement ring helps you create a look as unique as your love story. Choose round or pear side stones for more classic or romantic style, and trillion or tapered baguette side stones for modern appeal.

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.

Asscher cut engagement rings are timeless due their heirloom-like elegance. The Asscher was one of the most popular diamond shapes during the Art Deco period due to the symmetry of its step-cut facets and distinct x-pattern. It has continued to be sought after for generations, giving it timeless appeal. 

The difference between Asscher cut vs Emerald cut diamonds in terms of brilliance is minimal; both feature step-cut facets that create a “hall-of-mirrors” like effect when catching the light. The Asscher, however, is also known for its distinct x-pattern. In terms of style, both are considered modern-yet-timeless, but Asscher cut diamonds are sometimes favored for vintage-inspired designs due to their Art Deco appeal.

The best settings for Asscher cut diamonds to display their unique facets are the ones that reflect your own personal style. A timeless Solitaire setting is often sought-after  for showing off the Asscher’s unique look. But Halo and Bezel settings, which were popular at the same time as Asschers during the Art Deco period, are also ideal. 

When it comes to highlighting Asscher cut diamonds in vintage vs modern designs, there is no right or wrong answer. Asschers, an Art Deco favorite, work well in vintage-inspired designs, but their clean lines are also beautifully displayed in more contemporary engagement rings.
