Although the Asscher cut was introduced in 1902, it wasn’t until the 1920s until its popularity really began to soar. A creation of the Asscher Brothers of Holland’s Asscher Diamond Company – known today as the Royal Asscher Diamond Company – the Asscher Brothers were renowned for their diamond work, particularly cutting a massive 3,106-carat rough diamond.

The style became incredibly popular during the Art Deco era, alongside Emerald and Baguette diamonds while platinum and white gold replaced the softer yellow gold tones of the preceding Art Nouveau period. The Asscher cut would take a back seat to the Great Depression for many years, primarily appearing in vintage jewellery stores due to the rarity and expense of the cut.

The early 2000 noughties saw a revival with the Asscher cut with a new generation where its vintage charm manages to maintain a modern appeal.

Mysterious, unique and rare with an appreciation for elegance and femininity

Synonymous to Gwyneth Paltrow, and a favourite with Melania Trump, Elizabeth Taylor, and Sophia Vergara, the hallmark of the Asscher Cut is its deeply cut pavilion and high crown, for a mesmerising play of light and dark facets within the gemstone. This distinctive arrangement of facets forms a captivating “hall-of-mirrors” effect. The step-cut facets provide a sophisticated and understated brilliance, emphasising the gemstone’s clarity and purity.
