Asscher diamond engagement rings are a popular choice among shoppers for their unique qualities and characteristics. One of the many reasons why diamonds are always the top choice for any engagement ring is because the diamond stones are all distinct in their own ways depending on their cuts.

The Asscher stone is one that has a very special shape. This style created and patented by Joseph Asscher in 1902, is a square with trimmed corners that make it appear like its octagonal in shape. It is also sometimes referred to as square emerald cut since it somehow resembles the emerald cut.

Technically speaking the Asscher cut diamond has a small table, a high crown, wide step facets, a deep pavilion and square culet. Looking closely at the Asscher diamond you will see several
parallel lines that create an image of so many small mirrors inside reflecting on each other. These reflected mirrors add to the stones fire and appeal.

Its popularity started in Art Deco jewelry and slowly made it to mainstream since the cut makes the diamond appear to have more fire due to the refracted light.

If you are choosing which one to give to that very special lady in your life, the Asscher diamond is your best choice. Any woman who will receive it as a significant symbol of your lasting love will truly appreciate the highly sophisticated design.

In choosing the diamond ring, make sure you pay particular interest on the details of the stone used, the metal of the ring band, and the size of the wearer. An engagement ring should be perfect at the time you give it - perfect in design and perfect fit.
