RHODIUM PLATED SILVER YELLOW ASSCHER & TRIANGLE CUT THREE STONE CUBIC ZIRCONIA RING
Christine Alexander Fine Jewellery
Oh, hello, my darlings! If you're partial to a little colour, a generous helping of sparkle, and jewellery that looks like it needs its own security detail, then allow me to introduce this rather fabulous creation.
This gorgeous 925 Sterling Silver Asscher and Trilliant Cut Cubic Zirconia Halo Ring, featuring a beautiful yellow centre stone, has all the sunny glamour of a Yellow Sapphire. Think golden sunshine, vintage-inspired elegance and a rather magnificent amount of sparkle – without requiring you to sell a kidney.
The rich yellow centre is beautifully complemented by two clear triangular-cut stones, creating a striking three-stone design with a lovely geometric silhouette.
A Golden Centrepiece 💛
At the heart of this ring sits an impressive 8mm Asscher-cut yellow Cubic Zirconia, secured in a traditional claw setting.
Its warm yellow colour beautifully resembles a Yellow Sapphire, giving the ring a luxurious, gemstone-inspired appearance. The Asscher cut brings plenty of character, with its distinctive square outline, cropped corners and stepped facets.
Flanking the centre stone are two 4mm triangular-cut clear Cubic Zirconia, also claw-set to create a beautifully balanced arrangement.
The contrast between the golden centre and sparkling clear side stones gives this ring a wonderfully elegant finish. It's eye-catching without being over-the-top – although, personally, I have never considered a little over-the-top sparkle to be a particularly serious problem.
The delicate 2mm band keeps the overall design refined, while the guaranteed weight of 3.5g gives it a reassuringly substantial feel.

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 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. Here, the warm yellow colour gives it the appearance of a Yellow Sapphire, creating a particularly lovely alternative to a traditional clear-stone ring.
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, with the clear side stones framing that gorgeous golden centre.
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.
