Among the most-loved pieces in our collection is the Asscher cut engagement ring. Vintage and architectural, its square step-cut facets and signature “windmill” pattern create elegant hall-of-mirrors flashes with refined Art Deco character.

What Makes Asscher Engagement Rings So Special?

The Asscher cut is a square step-cut with cropped corners, a higher crown, and concentric facets that form a striking “windmill” from the centre. Rather than glittery scintillation, it shows broad, sophisticated flashes and crisp geometry.

At House of Diamonds, we balance table size, crown height, and head proportions so your Asscher sits comfortably, looks symmetrical from every angle, and pairs beautifully with a wedding band.

The Craftsmanship Behind an Asscher Solitaire

Corner protection and symmetry are key. We often use double claws or a sleek bezel on the cropped corners, align prongs to the facet lines, and finish edges for a smooth, low-snag profile. Careful head height invites light while keeping daily wear practical.

Why Choose an Asscher Diamond?

An Asscher diamond offers timeless Art Deco elegance with a bold, square outline. It may face up a touch smaller than a round of the same carat, but smart proportions, a slim band, or a halo enhance presence while preserving that refined step-cut look.

FAQ: Asscher Cut Engagement Rings

What is an Asscher cut?

A square step-cut diamond with cropped corners, higher crown, and concentric facets that form a distinctive “windmill” pattern.

Asscher vs emerald—what’s the difference?

Both are step-cuts. Asscher is square with a central windmill; emerald is rectangular with long parallel steps. Choose the outline and light effect you prefer.

Do Asscher cuts show inclusions or colour more?

They can. The large open facets reveal clarity and colour readily, so many clients choose well-selected stones with excellent symmetry and eye-clean clarity.

What length-to-width ratio should I choose?

Asschers are typically near-square, ~1.00–1.03. Slightly off-square up to ~1.05 can look elegant—try side-by-side to see your preference.

Do Asschers look smaller than rounds at the same carat?

They can face up a touch smaller due to depth. A slim band or a halo can increase visual presence while keeping the step-cut aesthetic.

Which settings suit an Asscher best?

Double claws or a bezel for corner protection; cathedral shoulders for lift; square/octagonal halos or hidden halos for presence; tapered baguettes for a classic trilogy.

Will my wedding band sit flush?

Often with a compact basket and considered head height. Some styles pair best with a gentle contour band—we’ll advise during design.

Can an Asscher ring be resized?

Usually within 1–2 sizes depending on the band and any pavé. Plain bands are especially resize-friendly.

How do I clean an Asscher ring?

Soak in warm water with mild dish soap, gently brush around/under the head with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry. Ultrasonic is fine for most diamonds.
