There's something absolutely captivating about an Asscher cut diamond. Unlike round brilliant or princess cuts that maximize sparkle, the Asscher has step cut facets that create a ‘hall of mirrors’ effect. Each facet works like a window, reflecting light in long, elegant flashes that draw you into the stone's depth. The effect is so stylish and unique that Pippa Middleton, sister of the Princess of Wales, insisted on one for her engagement to James Matthews.
Right now, we're witnessing a gorgeous resurgence of this vintage beauty. Modern brides are falling head over heels for the Asscher's clean lines and geometric grace. The reasons? It's got that rare ability to look both nostalgic and refreshingly contemporary at the same time. The angular silhouette and precise symmetry speak to anyone who appreciates fine craftsmanship and timeless style.

Understanding the Asscher Cut Diamond
Picture a perfect square with gently cropped corners. That's an Asscher cut. The shape itself is architectural and balanced, with a symmetry that's incredibly pleasing to the eye. When you look down at it, you'll see those distinctive cut corners that give the stone its singular outline: a signature feature that makes Asschers instantly recognizable.
Not only does the Asscher have a rich history that includes being the world’s first patented diamond cut, but it features 50 to 58 long, rectangular facets arranged in concentric rows. This creates that famous "hall of mirrors" effect that we mentioned earlier. When you gaze into one of these beautiful diamonds, you see layer upon layer of reflections, each facet mirroring the next in a stunning display.
Clarity matters a lot with Asscher cuts. The step cut style acts like a crystal-clear window into the stone, so any imperfections are more visible than they'd be in a brilliant cut. That's why we recommend choosing a higher clarity grade (VS2 or better). But the payoff is an incredibly pristine effect that pulls you in and won't let go. If you’re ready to check out some examples, we’ve got five engagement rings that demonstrate all this unique cut has to offer.
1. The Halo Stephanie: Vintage Romance Meets Brilliant Sparkle
If you're dreaming of vintage glamor with a serious dose of sparkle, The Halo Stephanie is your ring. This stunner takes the Asscher cut's Art Deco heritage and amplifies it with a gorgeous lab diamond halo that frames the center stone like a crown of light. The result? Your diamond looks even more brilliant and appears larger than its actual carat weight. Talk about getting the best of both worlds!
The Halo Stephanie also features delicate metalwork that’s reminiscent of 1920s bridal chic: the golden age of the Asscher cut. You'll find intricate details that echo the geometric patterns loved by Art Deco designers, giving this ring an authentic vintage soul with modern durability and craftsmanship. If you've ever swooned over Great Gatsby-era jewelry or dreamed of a ring with serious presence, the Halo Stephanie is calling your name.
2. The Skyler: Bold Bypass Design with Modern Edge
Want a ring that breaks all the traditional rules? Meet The Skyler. Instead of a traditional straight band, this bypass design sweeps upward to cradle your Asscher diamond in a luxurious embrace. It's like two paths converging to hold your center stone: romantic symbolism wrapped in seriously chic design.
Asscher cuts are all about clean lines and edged precision, so The Skyler’s curved band creates this exquisite contrast: soft, flowing movement meeting sharp, angular facets. The interplay is dynamic and eye-catching, giving your ring depth and dimension that looks different from every angle. If you love contemporary art, sleek minimalism with a twist, or anything that feels fresh and forward-thinking, The Skyler is your match.
3. The Kamellie: Solitaire Sparkle with Hidden Halo
The Kamellie is one of Keyzar's bestselling designs, and it's easy to see why. This solitaire setting features a slender band and delicate hidden halo of diamonds nestled beneath the center stone. These under-set sparklers catch light from below and reflect it back up through your Asscher cut, adding extra dimension and brilliance that seems to come from within the stone itself. It's subtle, unexpected, and absolutely magical.
Because the setting is so clean and simple, your Asscher cut diamond becomes the undisputed star of the show. If you believe true luxury whispers rather than shouts and find true beauty in the most exquisite touches, The Kamellie engagement ring may be ‘the one’ for you.
4. The Pave Ashley: Classic Elegance with Subtle Shimmer
The Pave Ashley is proof that you can have sparkle and sophistication without going over the top. Tiny pave diamonds are set closely together along the band, creating a continuous shimmer that catches the light with every movement. It's like a river of sparkle flowing around your finger. The beauty of this design is in its restraint: the pavé adds just enough extra brilliance to complement your Asscher diamond without competing with it.
The contrast between the two diamond styles really makes this engagement ring stand out. Your Asscher cut center stone has those pristine flashes of light and "hall of mirrors" depth while the pave diamonds deliver a different kind of sparkle: smaller, brighter, more playful. Together, they create this balanced harmony that's endlessly beautiful. If you appreciate refined details and classic beauty that never tries too hard, the Pave Ashley is made for you.
5. The Sierra: Vintage-Inspired Artistry with Heirloom Charm
If you're drawn to the artistry of bygone eras, when jewelry was crafted with painstaking attention to detail, The Sierra will take your breath away. This vintage-inspired setting embraces your Asscher cut diamond with delicate milgrain and filigree accents, enhancing its crisp silhouette in a soft, romantic finish. Every curve, every bead of milgrain, every delicate detail is created with the same care that antique jewelers poured into their work.
What makes this combination so breathtaking is how the two styles complement each other. The Asscher's architectural facets and sharp angles provide a contemporary counterpoint to all that ornate detailing. The result is a ring that feels genuinely timeless. If you collect antique treasures, swoon over period dramas, or believe the most beautiful things have stories to tell, the Sierra is waiting for you.
Conclusion
The Asscher cut has been captivating hearts for over a century, and remains as relevant today as it was in the Art Deco era. Choosing an Asscher engagement ring is therefore an investment in a classic. This isn't a trendy shape that'll look dated in five years: it's a diamond cut that's been beloved for generations and will continue turning heads for years to come. When you slip one of these beauties on your finger, you're joining a legacy of style icons who understood that true elegance is timeless.
