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.

Bright, modern elegance at an accessible price. 18K white gold contains 75% pure gold alloyed with white metals such as palladium or silver, finished with a rhodium plating for a bright, reflective white appearance. It offers the elegant look of platinum with a lighter weight.

Under £10,000, there are no compromises. Expect a 1.5ct+ natural diamond or a breathtaking 2ct+ lab-grown centre stone in the most premium settings MOH offers. This is engagement ring shopping without limitations.
