3.03 GIA Asscher Diamond Engagement Ring 18k

This 18 karat yellow gold solitaire holds a GIA-certified 3.03 carat Asscher cut diamond in a half bezel setting with a triple split shank.

The Asscher cut is a square step-cut with cropped corners that creates a hall-of-mirrors effect through its concentric rectangular facets, producing flashes of light rather than the scattered sparkle of brilliant cuts.

The triple split shank divides into three bands as it approaches the setting, creating an architectural framework for the center stone. The band tapers toward the back for comfortable daily wear despite the substantial center diamond.
