Every Ecksand engagement ring is shaped through a fully vertical process: imagined, engineered, and handcrafted within our integrated Montreal atelier from first sketch to final polish. This disciplined approach is the foundation of our craft, a sense of presence that feels unmistakably Ecksand.

It’s this commitment to true in-house creation that earned Ecksand the Canadian National Hallmark, a rare designation awarded to only 108 companies in its four decades of existence, affirming the authenticity, integrity, and artistry behind every jewel we’ve crafted since 2009.

Asscher Diamond Engagement Rings

Geometric. Reflective. Unapologetically bold. Ecksand's Asscher engagement rings are a study in precision and presence, designed for those who gravitate toward symmetry, strength, and quiet impact.

First introduced in the early 1900s, the Asscher cut is defined by its cropped corners, step-cut facets, and deep pavilion, creating a hall-of-mirrors effect that draws the eye inward. Unlike brilliant cuts that scatter light, Asscher-cut diamonds reflect it back with clarity and intention, making every flicker feel architectural.

Our collection features a curated selection of Asscher-cut solitaires, three-stone rings, and halo designs, each handcrafted in our Montreal atelier using 100% recycled gold or platinum. Choose from lab-grown or natural diamonds, each one ethically sourced and selected for its symmetry, clarity, and visual depth.

Customizing your Asscher engagement ring is simple with our Diamond Ring Builder. Choose your preferred carat, cut, and clarity to create a diamond ring that feels personal, powerful, and enduring. Pair your center stone with a pavé band for extra brilliance, or opt for a clean setting to let the geometry speak for itself.

As with every Ecksand ring, each Asscher design is made through our fully vertical process — from design to final polish — ensuring sustainable practices and uncompromising quality throughout.

This is elegance with structure. A ring that doesn't follow trends, it holds its ground.

Asscher Diamond Engagement Rings FAQs

What is an Asscher cut diamond?

An Asscher cut diamond is a unique, square-shaped diamond with step-cut facets, similar to those found in an emerald cut. It features a high crown and a smaller table, creating a distinctive "X" pattern when viewed from above. Known for its deep pavilion and clean lines, the Asscher cut exudes vintage charm and sophistication, making it a popular choice for those who appreciate an elegant, Art Deco-inspired look. Create your own diamond engagement ring online.

How to choose an Asscher cut diamond?

When choosing an Asscher cut diamond, focus on clarity and cut quality. Due to its step-cut facets, inclusions and imperfections are more visible in this cut than in others, so it's important to select a diamond with high clarity. Look for a diamond with excellent symmetry and polish to ensure maximum brilliance. Additionally, consider the depth and table percentages; a well-cut Asscher diamond will have a balanced ratio that enhances its signature geometric appeal.

How many facets in an Asscher cut diamond?

An Asscher cut diamond typically has 58 facets, similar to the standard round brilliant cut. These facets are arranged in a stepped pattern, creating a hall-of-mirrors effect that enhances the diamond’s depth and clarity. The Asscher cut’s unique faceting gives it a captivating play of light, with a more subdued sparkle compared to brilliant cuts, but with a mesmerizing and timeless appeal.

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

While both the square emerald cut and the Asscher cut are step-cut diamonds with a similar square shape, the key difference lies in their faceting and overall appearance. The Asscher cut has a higher crown, smaller table, and deeper pavilion, giving it a more pronounced "X" pattern when viewed from above. It also tends to have more faceting on the pavilion, which creates a distinct, vintage-inspired look. In contrast, a square emerald cut has a more rectangular appearance with fewer facets, resulting in a more streamlined and understated sparkle. The Asscher cut is generally more sought after for its unique combination of brilliance and depth. Learn more about the different diamond shapes here.

The History & Heritage of the Asscher Cut

In 1902, master diamond cutter Joseph Asscher introduced a shape that would define an era. Working from the renowned Asscher Brothers workshop in Amsterdam, he developed a cut distinguished by its square silhouette, cropped corners, and layered step-cut facets. The design created something unprecedented: a hall-of-mirrors effect that drew the eye inward rather than scattering light outward.

The Asscher cut rose to prominence during the Art Deco period of the 1920s and 1930s, when geometric precision and architectural elegance shaped everything from skyscrapers to jewelry boxes. Its clean lines and bold symmetry resonated with a generation captivated by modernity and structural beauty. The cut became synonymous with sophistication, adorning the hands of collectors who valued intention over ornamentation.

Following decades of quieter appreciation, the Asscher cut experienced a resurgence around its centennial in 2002. Contemporary cutting techniques have since refined the shape, enhancing its brilliance while preserving the vintage character that makes it distinctive. Today, the Asscher remains one of the rarest cuts in circulation, prized for its distinctive geometry and refined step-cut facets.

Each Asscher cut engagement ring in this collection is handcrafted in the Montreal atelier using solid gold of recycled origin and ethical diamonds and gemstones. The step-cut facets demand exceptional clarity and precision, qualities that align with the meticulous standards of Canadian craftsmanship bearing the National Hallmark.
