Asscher Cut Natural Diamond Side Stone Engagement Rings Under £5,000

Natural diamonds are formed 150–200km below the Earth's surface under extreme heat and pressure over 1–3 billion years. Each natural diamond is unique — a one-of-a-kind creation of nature. For those who value rarity, tradition, and the knowledge that their diamond is a geological marvel billions of years in the making, a natural diamond is the ultimate choice.

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.
