PARIS - Asscher Lab Diamond Platinum Petite Hidden Halo

View this designAsscher-cut lab-grown diamond engagement rings feature square centres with cropped corners and a captivating arrangement of step facets. The broad reflections create a geometric elegance quite different from the sparkle of a brilliant cut. Discover platinum and gold settings that complement the Asscher's symmetry, with the diamond's face-up dimensions and clarity adding individuality to each design.
View the stone straight on and in movement to assess the step pattern and visible inclusions. Compare its width, length and depth rather than assuming equal carat weights have equal face-up size. The cut’s open appearance makes inspection of the individual diamond useful.
Check the corner setting and the amount of metal visible around the centre. A simple mount continues its geometry; shoulder stones add a different texture along the band. Examine the basket and wedding-band clearance before choosing the final combination.
Read the report issued for your chosen lab grown diamond, including its date, dimensions and relevant comments. Report services and terminology differ. Compare current complete-ring prices with the same stone and mounting specification, and ask for viewing information if appearance is not clear.

Read moreAn Asscher-cut lab-grown diamond is square with clipped corners and a distinctive series of stepped facets. Its charm comes from the geometric, almost architectural pattern of reflections rather than brilliant-cut sparkle. We'd compare the symmetry and actual face-up dimensions of individual stones, because a diamond's carat weight won't tell you everything about the size you see on the hand.
Asscher cuts have relatively open facets, which can make certain inclusions easier to notice than in a brilliant cut. We'd recommend looking at the individual diamond at a natural viewing distance, not simply choosing the highest clarity grade on paper. Symmetry, colour and the appearance of the central step pattern also deserve attention. A rotating video can reveal differences between two otherwise similar reports.
A fine solitaire allows the Asscher's square geometry to stand out, while a bezel creates an especially defined metal outline. A halo will make the full ring appear broader and more decorative. We'd compare how the setting frames the cropped corners and whether its side profile works with the intended wedding band. Even small changes in claw shape can noticeably alter the character of an Asscher design.
Our jewellery specialists would be delighted to help you compare designs at our London or Manchester showrooms, or in a virtual consultation.
