Read moreExplore Asscher engagement rings with a square step-cut shape, cropped corners and distinctive geometric depth. Discover Asscher centre stones in lab grown and natural diamonds, moissanite and selected coloured gemstones.
Asscher engagement rings feature a broadly square, step-cut centre with cropped corners. The geometric outline and stepped facets create a different appearance from brilliant-style cuts. Compare the actual stone and the way its setting frames the corners to understand the finished design.
A solitaire leaves the step-cut centre prominent, while a halo or additional stones provide a different frame. Check the claw positions, basket height and band width. These details can make an Asscher ring look restrained or more decorative without changing the central shape.
Asscher names a cut rather than the origin or colour of a diamond. Our classic lab grown diamond collection focuses on colourless diamond rings, while the coloured lab grown diamond collection offers a separate colour palette. Not every stone type is available in every cut; refer to the individual design and specification for the options actually offered.
Both can have square outlines, but an Asscher has cropped corners and step faceting. A princess cut has pointed corners and brilliant-style faceting. Compare more than the outline when deciding which appearance you prefer.
Look at the millimetre dimensions, grading details and the appearance of the actual stone. The centre's visible proportions and the height of its setting help explain how the complete ring will look. Carat weight alone cannot answer those questions.
