When getting married, these days couples want to make their wedding experience uniquely their own, so a lot of new and interesting trends are breaking ranks with tradition and creating a new generation of wedding planning.

One interesting trend gaining traction is that of Asscher cut engagement rings, also known as the square emerald cut. Maybe you've never heard of the asscher cut. It is a near-square shape, with the corners cut to form an octagon-like shape. The size of the diamond is generally smaller than other cuts of diamond, and it has a deeper cut than other kinds.

Similar to cushion cut rings, asscher cut engagement rings can be somewhat hard to locate and often have to be bought as standalone stones, then have custom-made rings created. This is where that personal touch of creating your own new type of wedding experience comes in. Higher-end jewelry retailers are more likely to be able to assist you in finding a selection of asscher cut stones to create custom rings from, or find you pre-made asscher cut engagement rings.

Asscher cut stones are just another element of your engagement and wedding that you can customize. Make your wedding experience entirely your own unique experience.
