So,

Here it is...we are really, really close to getting an asscher. Around a carat. What do you all think would look better in a skinny 2mm type setting, baguettes like tiffany or pave like this scott kay setting?

PS, I hope this posts.

I have been having the same problem myself trying to decide between these two settings (for a cushion cut center stone). If I were going with an asscher, I would go with the baguettes. I just love the way the steps in the asscher look with the steps in the baguettes -- like the one below. IMO, the baguettes make for a bit more of a retro/modern look, and the pave looks more antique... Which look did you have in mind? Good luck with whatever you decide.

I say go with pave 99.9% of the time, but in this case I really like he look of an asscher with the bags on the sides. Something very fluid and classy about that particular ring. Just when I thought I would never want a ring with bagguettes........hmmmm....maybe a fun asscher.......oh honey my birthday is coming up....heheheheee

The pave is a pretty look, but less unique than the baguette/asher combo, and to me looks more like two different looks, almost competing with each other.

jaye Rough Rock Total Posts: 29 Last Post: 11/17/2004 Member Since: 2/2/2004	I'll place my vote for baguettes. Also, Robyn12 can you tell us what site you took the photo from? I'm meeting with a jeweler tomorrow re. a custom setting with my new emerald cut, which I will report on this weekend, and I like the way the baguettes are set in the ring you have showing in our post. Thanks. jaye williams

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,893 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	I love pave as well, but only if the center stone is large enough or pave small enough...just like Hest! I have seen some amazing Asscher pave pix that look very vintage, but the pave has to be really tiny and bead set (e.g. 1.5mm or less band). The baguette picture that Robyn posted was BEAUTIFUL. I don't think you can go wrong personally. Asscher are beautiful stones. Maybe depending on the size will dictate what will or will not look good.

After seeing the asscher next to the clean look of baguettes at the store though, I am going to have to agree with my boyfriend and all of you. We're going to check out settings this weekend, I'll keep you posted. Thanks everyone. You have all been so helpfull.
