Created in 1902 by master jewelry cutter Joseph Asscher, asscher cut diamonds are a distinct and unique engagement ring option for today's modern brides. Coming into popularity in the 1920's, engagement rings featuring asscher diamonds have found a renewed admiration in the past few years due to the work of innovative bridal jewelry designers such as TACORI, Hearts on Fire, and many others.
Another reason for this rise in popularity is that asscher cut diamond engagement rings are the favorites of fashionable, taste-making celebrities that include Gwyneth Paltrow, Elizabeth Taylor, and most recently Pippa Middleton who received a stunning, vintage-inspired, halo-style asscher cut engagement ring from her now husband, millionaire James Matthews.
