Diamond shoulders with a Asscher diamond
An Asscher is a square step cut with cropped corners, first cut in 1902 and much loved in the Art Deco era. Seen face-up, it shows a windmill pattern of concentric squares. Diamond shoulders keep the look crisp and geometric, true to its Art Deco roots.
What is a shoulder set ring?
Diamond shoulders are the middle ground between a plain solitaire and a full diamond band: a few diamonds either side of the centre stone for extra light, with a plain lower band that is easy to wear and easy to resize.
Why platinum?
Platinum is naturally white, so it never needs re-plating, and it is dense and hard-wearing. When it is knocked, the metal moves rather than wearing away, which keeps the small claws and beads holding each diamond secure for longer. With wear it takes on a soft satin finish, and a polish brings back the shine.
Made in the Cotswolds
Every ring is made to order in our family workshop in Bourton-on-the-Water, where we have made fine jewellery since 1969. We use 100% recycled precious metal, and every ring is independently hallmarked. Want to see the rings first? Book a virtual meeting.
