RHODIUM PLATED SILVER ASSCHER & TRIANGLE CUT THREE STONE CUBIC ZIRCONIA RING
Christine Alexander Fine Jewellery
Oh, hello, my darlings! If you're looking for a ring with a little drama, a generous helping of sparkle and the sort of presence that makes people casually grab your hand to have a closer look, I may have found your new favourite.
This gorgeous 925 Sterling Silver Asscher and Trilliant Cut Cubic Zirconia Halo Ring combines a striking square Asscher-cut centre stone with two beautifully contrasting triangular-cut stones. The result is a wonderfully balanced, eye-catching design with a distinctly glamorous feel.
It's rather like Art Deco went out for cocktails, met modern Hollywood and decided to get engaged.
And the best bit? You can choose between a clear or yellow central Asscher-cut Cubic Zirconia, depending on whether you're feeling classic sophistication or something with a little more sunshine.
A Closer Look at the Sparkle
At the heart of this ring sits a magnificent 8mm Asscher-cut Cubic Zirconia, secured in a traditional claw setting.
Two 4mm triangular-cut Cubic Zirconia flank the central stone, also claw-set, creating a beautiful three-stone arrangement with plenty of light-catching sparkle.
The combination of the square Asscher cut and triangular accents gives this ring a distinctive silhouette, while the delicate 2mm band keeps the overall design elegant and wearable.
Crafted in 925-stamped Sterling Silver, the ring is finished with a layer of Rhodium plating to give it a bright, luxurious white finish and help maintain its appearance for longer.
With a guaranteed weight of 3.5g, this is a substantial little piece of jewellery without being unnecessarily cumbersome.

A Little Jewellery History: The Asscher Cut 💎
The Asscher cut has a rather fascinating history.
In 1902, Dutch diamond cutter Joseph Asscher developed the distinctive cut that would eventually bear his name. Its elegant geometric shape, stepped facets, and cropped corners give it a wonderfully architectural appearance.
The original Asscher cut was designed to maximise the beauty of a Diamond's clarity and create a distinctive play of light. Its symmetrical, square outline has a timeless Art Deco quality that continues to appeal to jewellery lovers today.
The cut was introduced by the Asscher brothers in Amsterdam and later trademarked by the Henry Meyer Diamond Company of New York in 1962.
Our ring takes inspiration from this beautiful geometric style, using an Asscher-cut Cubic Zirconia rather than a Diamond. It gives you that sophisticated, vintage-inspired appearance with plenty of sparkle at a much more accessible price.
And Those Beautiful Triangular Stones?
The triangular-cut stones are often referred to as Trilliant cuts. These striking triangular gems are designed to maximise brilliance and give a wonderful flash of light.
The Trilliant cut was introduced by the Asscher brothers and is particularly effective as an accent stone, where its clean triangular outline complements the central Asscher cut beautifully.
Together, these two cuts create a lovely contrast of shapes and a ring that looks rather more complicated and expensive than it has any right to.
Why Rhodium Plating?
Rhodium is a precious white metal belonging to the Platinum group. It's naturally very bright and highly reflective, which makes it particularly useful as a decorative finish for jewellery.
I love Rhodium plating on Sterling Silver because it gives the metal a crisp, bright white appearance and helps protect the underlying Silver from tarnishing.
A little care will help preserve that lovely finish:
-
Avoid wearing your ring when swimming, particularly in chlorinated pools.
-
Keep it away from household chemicals, cleaning products and abrasive materials.
-
Apply perfumes, lotions and beauty products before putting your jewellery on.
-
Avoid unnecessary contact with water, including prolonged exposure to tap water.
-
Clean gently with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
Rhodium plating can gradually wear with regular use. The good news is that replating is generally possible, restoring that bright, fresh finish when needed.
