Asscher Diamond Ring | Splendente

Duncan G

I had something specific in mind for my wife to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary, and 1791 couldn't have made it easier. I told Designer Alice roughly what I was after and within a day I had a beautiful rendered image of the ring design sitting on my desktop that you could have sworn was a photo of the real thing. So from idea to reality in about 48 hours, not bad! We were easily able to make a couple of small design tweaks, and the result was stunning. Right through the process from design to the paperwork afterwards was a pleasure and I would highly recommend 1791 to anyone looking for value for money and an outstanding result. I know my wife loved it :)

Right from my first enquiry, the 1791 team impressed me with their care for detail and willingness to go to extra effort to provide quality service. I am living overseas but wanted a New Zealand made engagement ring for my Fiance. Ardouin from Customer Services organised the shipping and tackled the challenging French customs systems to get the ring safely across to the other side of the world. When it arrived it was perfectly crafted and beautifully designed. I needed to resize the ring and again Ardouin organised everything for the ring to be resized in Europe by a trusted jeweller. Throughout the entire process comunication was fantastic, even across so many timezones, and I felt completely at ease that the ring was safe. My fiance loves the ring and we will be in touch again soon to choose our wedding bands from 1791.

Having embarked on your quest to find the perfect diamond engagement ring, you will find yourself facing several style choices. For example, are you drawn to multi-stone rings or is a solitaire, a single beautiful diamond, more to your taste? And what shape diamond do you prefer? Should your ring be a traditional style, a timeless classic, or a bold, modern design?

Splendente, from 1791 Diamonds' Modena Collection, offers a little of everything. In the classical style of diamond engagement rings, this design showcases a solitaire diamond ring; however, the stone is an Asscher diamond. The square cut diamond with its deeply cut corners offers a striking alternative to the more traditional princess and round brilliant cuts.

The diamond is set in a four-prong arrangement which elevates the stone, maximising the amount of light available and enhancing the beautiful sparkle of the diamond. 1791 Diamonds only use diamonds with an excellent or very good cut so you can be sure that your diamond will be quite breathtaking.

As well as being particularly eye catching with their unusual shape, Asscher cut diamonds are also quite rare which enhances their appeal. The single diamond creates a dramatic effect and this engagement ring has no need for further embellishment.
