Choosing a Royal Asscher Cut Ring

How many facets does the Royal Asscher Cut have?

The Royal Asscher Cut has 74 facets. The original Asscher cut has 58. The additional facets refine how light moves through the stone, and the cut keeps the step-cut character of the original.
Which metals and settings are available?

Our Royal Asscher Cut rings are handcrafted in 18k white, yellow or rose gold, and in platinum. Settings include solitaire, pavé, halo, trilogy, five stone and eternity designs. 
What clarity suits a Royal Asscher-style step cut?

A step cut has large, open facets, so inclusions are easier to see than in a brilliant cut. The goal is a stone that looks clear to the eye. Our article about choosing a clarity grade for a Royal Asscher Cut diamond explains how to judge it. 
Can I commission a bespoke ring?
