An Asscher cut lab grown diamond is admired for its bold geometry, dramatic step-cut facets, and timeless Art Deco elegance. With its distinctive square shape and mesmerising “hall of mirrors” effect, the Asscher cut is the perfect choice for those who appreciate refined sophistication over dramatic sparkle.
At Her Crown, we believe every diamond should celebrate a woman’s journey of becoming. An Asscher cut diamond reflects confidence, individuality, and enduring style, making it an exceptional choice for engagement rings and life’s most meaningful milestones.
What Is an Asscher Cut Lab Grown Diamond?
An Asscher cut lab grown diamond is a real diamond created using advanced technology that replicates the natural diamond-growing process. It has the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness, and optical properties as a mined diamond.
Originally developed in the early 20th century, the Asscher cut is a square step-cut diamond with deeply trimmed corners. Its broad, concentric facets create the famous “hall of mirrors” effect, producing elegant flashes of light rather than the intense sparkle of brilliant-cut diamonds.

The History of the Asscher Cut
The Asscher cut was developed in 1902 by the Asscher family in Amsterdam and became one of the defining diamond cuts of the Art Deco era.
Its geometric precision and refined appearance continue to attract those who appreciate vintage-inspired elegance with modern craftsmanship.
Understanding Step-Cut Beauty
Unlike brilliant-cut diamonds, which maximise sparkle through numerous triangular facets, Asscher diamonds feature large, parallel step facets.
These broad facets produce crisp reflections and create remarkable visual depth.
Because of this open facet pattern, cut precision, clarity, and symmetry are especially important when selecting an Asscher diamond.
The Four Cs for Asscher Cut Diamonds
Cut
Excellent cut quality is essential to achieve symmetrical step facets and the characteristic hall of mirrors effect.
Colour
The open facet pattern can reveal colour more easily than brilliant cuts, making D to F colour grades particularly desirable for a bright, colourless appearance.
Clarity
Large step facets make inclusions easier to see, so VS1, VVS1, or higher clarity grades are often recommended for luxury jewellery.
Carat
Asscher diamonds often reveal their elegant geometry most effectively from around 1.5 carats and above, although beautifully cut stones are stunning in every size.
Best Ring Settings for Asscher Diamonds
Asscher cut diamonds pair beautifully with:
- Solitaire settings.
- Halo settings.
- Three-stone designs.
- Vintage-inspired settings.
- Art Deco ring designs.
These settings highlight the Asscher cut’s clean lines and sophisticated symmetry.
