Asscher Cut Diamonds
The asscher is a square step cut with deeply cropped corners and a high crown, creating the concentric “hall of mirrors” effect that made it an Art Deco signature. It was patented in Amsterdam in 1902, all but disappeared after the Second World War, and was revived in 2001.
Like all step cuts it shows clarity plainly, and its near-square outline reads smaller per carat than an elongated shape — both worth factoring into the choice. You can compare natural and lab-grown stones side by side here — chemically and optically identical, differing only in origin and price. Our lab-grown diamond guide explains how the two compare. Compare it with every other outline in our diamond shapes guide, and get to grips with what actually drives price in our diamond 4Cs guide. Every stone is independently certified, priced transparently, and can be set into any ring in our collection or into a design of your own.
