Asscher Cut Engagement Rings
The old mine cushion cut diamond is defined by its softly rounded outline, high crown, small table facet and polished culet. Developed in the 18th century, this early diamond cut followed the natural form of the rough stone, prioritising weight retention while introducing a more complex facet structure. These proportions give old mine cut diamonds their characteristic depth and distinctive fire, setting them apart from modern brilliant cuts. At Hancocks, our old mine cushion cut engagement rings feature expertly curated antique diamonds, set within handcrafted designs using traditional techniques that honour the unique character of each stone.
