Asscher Cut Diamond Engagement Ring
Designed by Carl Blackburn, La Jolla CA
2+ Ct. Asscher Cut Diamond Ring
From the front, this custom engagement ring by La Jolla jewelry designer Carl Blackburn is defined by the strong symmetry of its 2.29 ct. natural Asscher-cut diamond.
The clipped corners, broad step facets, and deep geometric pattern create the characteristic hall-of-mirrors effect associated with the cut, giving the center stone a sense of depth and precision.
Graduated step-cut side diamonds extend outward from the center, reinforcing the architectural composition while keeping the design balanced.
Rounded corner prongs soften the geometry slightly, allowing the square silhouette to remain bold without appearing severe.
Structured Step Cut Side Diamonds
At an angle, the relationship between the center diamond, side stones, and band becomes more apparent.
The step-cut side diamonds form a smooth transition from the Asscher-cut center to the 14k white gold shank, creating a layered progression of geometric shapes.
Channel-set diamonds continue along the shoulders, introducing a brighter, more continuous line of sparkle against the polished metal.
The white gold setting complements the cool brilliance of the diamonds and gives the ring a crisp, highly finished appearance.
This combination of structured step cuts and channel-set accents gives the design a refined Art Deco influence with a distinctly contemporary execution.
Channel Set Diamond Shank
Seen from the opposite side, the ring shows how substantial construction and fine detail are combined within the same design.
The graduated side diamonds sit close to the center stone, creating a broad, cohesive face, while the channel-set diamonds are recessed neatly into the band for a sleek profile.
The elevated setting gives the Asscher-cut diamond additional presence above the shank and reveals the careful engineering beneath the center.
Subtle hidden diamond detailing beneath the setting adds another layer of craftsmanship that is less apparent from directly above.
The result is a sophisticated custom engagement ring built around symmetry, depth, and precise geometric proportion.
