Majestic Asscher-cut Diamond Ring |

 The Majestic! |
|
| An Asscher-cut diamond of mesmerizing beauty is featured in this spectacular custom ring. The captivating optics of the Asscher-cut diamond (an effect we call "The Hall of Mirrors") draws your eyes into the depths of this masterfully cut stone. |
|
 A unique center diamond requires something special for the side stones. We selected two scintillating trapezoid-cut diamonds. The sparkle of the side diamonds is the perfect contrast to the mesmerizing geometry of the Asscher cut. The side diamonds are set in dramatic settings. The settings sweep outward from the center of the ring and rise to meet the narrow end of the diamonds. The Asscher-cut diamond majestically soars above, securely held by four sturdy platinum prongs.
 Beneath the Asscher-cut diamond there are two five-petal flowers crafted in rose gold. In the center of each flower we bezel set a small Fancy Vivid Pink diamond. The flowers are complemented by serpentine scrolls crafted in rose gold and set beneath the side diamonds. This ring was designed in a series of sweeping levels that rise upward to showcase the Asscher-cut diamond. The effect is reminiscent of the grand movie palaces of the Art Deco era, hence the name The Majestic. |
 All of our rings are stamped with our registered Hallmark ("BEL") and the purity of the precious metals ("PLAT" and "18K"). These marks are your assurance of exceptional craftsmanship and design.

The Story Behind Asscher-cut Diamonds
The Asscher cut was first created in 1902 by a renowned diamond cutter, Joseph Asscher. Several years later Joseph Asscher was chosen by King Edward VII to cut the famed Cullinan diamond for the English crown jewels. Asscher-cut diamonds are usually octagonal in shape or a square with beveled corners. They have a deep step-cut crown and pavilion that create what we call the Hall of Mirrors effect. When you look directly into a well-cut Asscher diamond you see a wonderful illusion like an infinite hallway of reflecting mirrors. The Asscher cut of the early 1900s evolved into the elegant Emerald cut that became so popular during the Art Deco era. Many of the antique diamond cuts - Asscher, Old European and Rose cuts - are now experiencing a revival of popularity. |
