Short answer: An Asscher cut is a square step cut with cropped corners and deep, layered facets that create a hypnotic "hall of mirrors" look. First created in 1902 by the Asscher family in Amsterdam, it became an Art Deco icon. It suits buyers who want a vintage, architectural ring rather than maximum glitter.
What Makes an Asscher Special
- Square outline with cut corners, almost octagonal
- Large, step-cut facets and a high crown
- Calm, mirror-like flashes rather than scattered sparkle
Buying Tips
- Clarity: step cuts show inclusions, so choose VS1 or better.
- Color: G or better in white metals; H–I works in yellow gold.
- Size: Asschers look smaller than rounds of the same weight; consider a halo for more presence.
- Setting: four V-prongs protect the corners; an Art Deco halo suits the style.
