Asscher Cut Natural Diamond Side Stone Engagement Rings in Platinum Under £4,000

Platinum and natural diamond is the most traditional luxury engagement ring pairing. Both are rare, enduring, and increase in beauty over time. This combination is the choice of heritage jewellery houses and has graced the most celebrated engagement rings in history.

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.
