What is the difference between an Asscher and an emerald cut diamond?

Both are step-cut diamonds, but the Asscher is square with deeply cropped corners (almost octagonal), while the emerald is rectangular. The Asscher creates a distinctive windmill light pattern, whereas the emerald produces a hall-of-mirrors effect.

6 handcrafted designs · Hatton Garden, London

The Asscher cut is a square step-cut diamond with deeply cropped corners that create an almost octagonal outline. Its concentric square facets draw the eye deep into the stone, producing a mesmerising windmill pattern. Invented in 1902 by the Asscher Brothers, it remains one of the most distinctive and collectible diamond shapes.

Under £2,500, a 1ct lab-grown diamond engagement ring in platinum or 18K gold is well within reach — with budget left over for a more intricate setting style such as halo or side stone.
