ASSCHER CUT ENGAGEMENT RINGS

The Asscher shaped diamond is was designed in Holland by the Asscher brothers in approximately 1902.  The following quote is from their website – “The Royal Asscher Cut has a high crown and 74 facets – whereas the modern square-emerald cut, and the original Asscher both have 58 facets. Today the Asscher family name is often used as a commodity term for square-emerald cuts. It is obvious why companies want to use the world-renowned Asscher name”. The Asscher shaped diamond engagement ring is one of the most popular shapes in solitaire diamond rings. Elizabeth Taylors famous Asscher cut diamond solitaire ring holds a 33.19ct Asscher cut diamond.
