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

What shapes work best in a three stone engagement ring?

1 handcrafted design · 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.

The three stone (trilogy) setting features a centre diamond flanked by two smaller stones, symbolising the past, present, and future of your relationship. This meaningful design adds visual weight and interest while telling a story.
