What is an Asscher cut diamond? An Asscher cut diamond is a square diamond with cut corners, faceted in a step-cut style (parallel rectangular facets running inward toward the centre). The cut was created in 1902 by Joseph Asscher and is famous for its "hall of mirrors" effect — long, deep flashes of light rather than the explosive sparkle of a round brilliant. It's a hallmark of Art Deco design.

What is an eternity band? An eternity band (also called an eternity ring) is a ring set with diamonds all the way around — symbolising love without end. It's traditionally worn as a wedding ring, anniversary ring or significant-occasion gift, and pairs beautifully alongside an engagement ring.

What's the difference between a half eternity and a full eternity ring? A half eternity has diamonds set across the front half of the ring only. A full eternity has diamonds set continuously around the entire band. Half eternity is more comfortable to wear (no diamonds under the finger), easier to resize, and slightly more affordable. Full eternity reads more luxurious and is the original symbolic form.

Why are Asscher-cut eternity bands less sparkly than round brilliant ones? Asscher cuts have fewer, larger facets than round brilliants. Their step-cut geometry produces deep, slow flashes of light rather than explosive sparkle. That's not a compromise — it's a different aesthetic. The Asscher reads more architectural and refined, which is exactly why it suits eternity bands designed to complement rather than compete with an engagement ring.

Can an eternity band be resized? Half eternity bands can be resized like a standard ring. Full eternity bands are more difficult to resize because there's no plain metal at the back to work with — but Deltora can usually resize within a small range. We recommend confirming your size carefully with our diamond concierge during your consultation.

Will it sit alongside my engagement ring? Yes — that's exactly what it's designed for. The 3mm band and the restrained sparkle of the Asscher cut means the eternity sits beautifully alongside any engagement ring style without competing for attention.

Can I customise this ring? Yes — every Deltora eternity band is handcrafted to order. Choose your metal, your diamond type (natural or lab grown), your band width, and your half or full eternity preference.
