Custom Asscher Cut Diamond Ring
by Carl Blackburn, La Jolla Custom Jeweler
Diamond Hall of Mirrors
From the front, this custom engagement ring from C. Blackburn Jewelers in San Diego is built around a 2.53 ct. E-color, VVS2 lab-grown Asscher-cut diamond.
Its clipped corners and broad step facets create the deep, geometric hall-of-mirrors effect that gives the cut its distinctive character.
Custom-cut trapezoid diamonds sit closely on either side, widening the composition while directing attention back toward the center stone.
The three diamonds form a strong, symmetrical arrangement, while the warm 14k yellow gold setting softens the crisp geometry and gives the ring a refined vintage-inspired presence.
Trapezoid Side Diamonds
The angled perspective brings the craftsmanship of the band into clearer view.
Fine engraved detailing runs along the yellow gold shank, introducing texture and an heirloom quality that contrasts beautifully with the clean architectural lines of the diamonds.
The trapezoid side stone creates a gradual transition between the large Asscher-cut center and the narrower band, allowing the three-stone arrangement to feel integrated rather than assembled from separate elements.
Delicate polished prongs secure each diamond while leaving their outlines clearly visible, preserving the strong geometric character that defines the design.
