BearMan Cut Rock Total Posts: 131 Last Post: 3/9/2006 Member Since: 2/3/2004	I purchased this ASSCHER(sq. emer) after exhaustive research at the ROYAL ASSCHER WEB SITE(wanted to ensure the table and depths were within the RA range) Purchased from SOLOMON BROS(would recommend them...Somer was very helpful) Appraised at DAVID ATLAS.....TWO THUMBS UP!! and yes i got it laser inscribed with the GIA CERT# Had someone HERE put together the PLATINUM SETTING for me(that person can step forward if they would like to)...appreciate all the help i got from this person!!! 4 STAR customer service!!! THE SPECS!! GIA CERTIFIED!! 1.09 Carats G VS2 (completely EYE CLEAN face up as well as from any angle you want to look!!) Dimmensions: 5.74 X 5.67 X 3.95 (and it looks SQUARE! L/W= 1.01) Depth: 69.7% Table: 59% Polish: VERY GOOD Symetry: Good Culet: Closed Girdle: Med to Thick Flourescence: NONE Crown Height: 12.1% AGA Cut Class: 3A(noted as TYPICAL for cutting style) also noted by D ATLAS Appraisal....EXCELLENT BRILLIANCY and WELL Porportioned ONE THING I NEED SOME HELP WITH: DO the prongs look like they arent set correctly? ENJOY!! and I look forward to any and all feedback! PS: I know they say that ASSCHERS LOOK SMALLER but I THINK THIS ONE LOOKS atleast equivalent to a 1 Carat Princess FWIW: BOTH PICS were taken in natural sunlight with NO FLASH

However, as a satisfied client of their's, you may mention who they are and credit will be given to them for their "4 star customer service"! Vey beautiful ring by the way!

Griffin Cut Rock Total Posts: 239 Last Post: 3/20/2004 Member Since: 12/30/2003	Can you post another set of pics? It appeared in the first pic that the head might have been tweaked slightly on the X-Y plane, rotating the stone slightly clockwise. Was that just an artifact of the photo or is it apparent? Otherwise the prongs would definitely be off, as that style head would not allow for rotation at the base, therefore requiring the v-prongs to have been displaced axially quite a bit to get that look. If it is so, it is still correctable. It does have a rather interesting style of setting the stone, folding the prongs over the edges of the stone to horizontal like that, as opposed to leaving the edges of the "v" exposed. I would like to see this closer up in a pic. It is not how I envisioned an Asscher would be mounted in a v-prong, it is very intriguing. Did you ask for this specifically, or was this the setters own idea. I haven't seen a set quite like it, and I am interested in seeing more.

I Will TRY to post more pics(couldnt before) I had a friend take those 2 with his New Rebel EOS DIgital and we had a hard time getting those 2 pics...gonna try a trick someone PMd me with my digital camera. I am GLAD to hear it can be FIXED...but doubt it will be able to be addressed prior to me giving it to her

Kamuelamom Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,808 Last Post: 10/20/2006 Member Since: 4/18/2003	Bearman, as one who has had issues with her setting, I can tell you I relate to your disappointment. However, a qualified jeweler can do wonders. Please don't worry. I know this is a big moment for you, and anticipation must be killing you, but I think it's important to remember that the relationship being in tact is what is most important. The ring itself is material. Again, I do understand your woes but just try to stay positive until it is all resolved. Even if she has to wait for it to be fixed after the proposal, believe me, she will be thrilled regardless. Good luck & please keep us posted. P.S. I left you a couple of suggestions in your poem thread.
