Asscher Cut Art Deco Bezel Set Blue Sapphire Ring in Sterling Silver

Old-world glamour, redrawn in deep royal blue. This blue sapphire engagement ring centers an Asscher-cut sapphire in a sleek protective bezel, framed by an octagonal halo of bright simulated diamonds and crowned with prong-set accents north and south. Crafted in solid 925 sterling silver with a mirror-bright rhodium finish, it is a vintage Art Deco engagement, promise, or September birthstone ring with bold presence and timeless polish.

The Asscher cut and its hall of mirrors

The Asscher cut is the signature shape of the Art Deco era: a square step cut with cropped corners that reads as a soft octagon. Instead of the rapid-fire flash of a brilliant cut, its long parallel facets create a hypnotic hall of mirrors — layered windows of light that draw the eye straight into the heart of the stone. On a richly saturated blue sapphire, that step-cut clarity shows off the color with quiet, sophisticated drama. At 7 x 7 mm and approximately 2 carats, this center commands the hand.

A genuine blue sapphire

The center stone is a genuine lab-grown blue sapphire — real corundum, chemically and physically identical to a mined sapphire, simply created in controlled conditions for consistent quality and an ethical, conflict-free origin. We describe its color as a “Ceylon blue” hue to capture the vivid, slightly violet royal-blue tone made famous by sapphires from Sri Lanka; the term refers to that prized color, not a mined geographic origin. At 9 on the Mohs scale, sapphire is one of the hardest gems on earth, second only to diamond, so it is superbly durable and ideal for daily wear.

The bezel setting and halo

A bezel setting wraps a slim rim of metal fully around the sapphire, holding it secure while protecting its edges — the most durable, snag-free way to set a center stone, and a perfect match for an everyday ring. Around it, an octagonal halo of micro-set simulated diamonds echoes the stone’s shape and amplifies its size and light, with two larger prong-set accents at the top and bottom completing the symmetrical Art Deco silhouette. The accents are simulated diamonds (cubic zirconia), chosen for their crisp white sparkle against the deep blue; if you would prefer permanent stones, we can build this design with lab-grown diamond or moissanite accents on request.

Vintage Art Deco style

Everything about this ring nods to the 1920s and 30s: the step cut, the bezel, the octagonal framing, the clean symmetry. Art Deco design has never gone out of fashion because it balances boldness with restraint — striking enough to turn heads, refined enough to wear for a lifetime. It is a look that feels both heirloom-vintage and effortlessly modern. Pair it with a slim band from our sapphire wedding bands, or find a matching piece for a partner in our sapphire couples rings.

Solid sterling silver with a rhodium finish

The ring is crafted in solid 925 sterling silver with a bright rhodium finish, the same precious-metal plating used on white gold, for a crisp, mirror-white shine that lets the sapphire take center stage. The slim band measures approximately 1.7 mm for a delicate, vintage feel, is nickel-free and hypoallergenic, and genuine sterling silver with a rhodium finish will not turn your skin green.

September’s birthstone and its meaning

Sapphire is September’s birthstone, making this an especially meaningful choice for a September birthday or anniversary. For centuries the blue sapphire has symbolized loyalty, wisdom, and faithful love, which is exactly why it remains one of the most cherished stones for engagements and promise rings the world over.

Sizing & care

Select your size at checkout; if you are unsure or between sizes, reach out and we will help, and resizing is available and starts from a modest fee. Sapphire is one of the hardest gemstones there is, and the protective bezel makes this design especially well suited to daily wear. To keep it brilliant, clean gently with warm water, a drop of mild soap, and a soft brush, then dry with a lint-free cloth. Store the ring separately to protect the rhodium finish, and remove it before swimming or harsh cleaning. Browse more designs in our sapphire jewelry range.
