The Asscher Cut — What Makes It Unique
Developed in 1902 by the Asscher brothers of Amsterdam, the Asscher cut is one of the oldest and most revered step cuts in the history of fine jewelry. Its square shape with deeply cropped corners and concentric step-cut facets produce a distinctive windmill or hall-of-halls optical effect — long flashes of light that draw the eye inward toward the center of the stone in a mesmerizing spiral. Where the emerald cut is rectangular and elongating, the Asscher is square and centering — bold, symmetrical, and unmistakably Art Deco in character.
Because the Asscher's open, windowed table makes color and clarity entirely visible, Adora uses only D Colorless, VVS1 moissanite in this design — the highest grades available — ensuring the stone performs at its absolute best in this demanding cut style.
The 4-Prong Open Gallery Setting
Four prong tips are positioned at the cropped corners of the Asscher stone — the natural securing points for this shape — holding the stone securely while leaving the full face of the step-cut table completely open and unobstructed. The open gallery beneath allows light to enter from every angle, maximizing the stone's distinctive concentric brilliance.
- Four corner prongs complement the Asscher's cropped-corner geometry perfectly
- Open gallery design — light flows freely through the step-cut facets
- Standard friction push back — comfortable and secure for everyday wear
- 925 sterling silver base — hypoallergenic, nickel-free, safe for sensitive ears
- Available in rhodium plated (bright white) or 14K yellow gold plated finish
