Asscher with Trapezoids to Look Bigger - HELP!

bemens Rough Rock Total Posts: 6 Last Post: 8/31/2005 Member Since: 8/16/2005	I saw a ring this weekend that was very interesting to me. It was a .5 asscher G/H VVS1 surrounded by other trapezoids type shapes so it looked like a 2 ct. asscher. there wasnt any white gold between the stones (they are mounted side to side but on an angle) and i wouldnt have even known it wasnt a 2 ct asscher if i hadnt researched exactly how the cut should look and seen the price. It is also has a surround of diamonds similar to the ritani endless love collection. The ring is set in 18kt white gold and the total weigth is 1.52ct. Does anyone know what type of setting this is called? Any experiences with a setting like this? The ring was listed for 9,800 but discounted to 6,800. I think its probably worth more like 5,000-6,000 from what I have seen online. Any advice or pro's/cons on the price or setting?

Any experiences with a setting like this? This is a 'composite cut' made (as far as I know) by GNN Diamonds. See their website at: GNN . You may ask them for a refference to one of their distributors (GNN is a manufacturer only, it seems). The pieces need to be set in bezel and the overall effect has the look of a large emerald cut (square or not) only a bit 'different'. This being said, I love the idea - the stones look like medieval castle windows in certain settings and give the opportunity of some fantastic designs ! I suspect that the settings are made by the distributors so each store may come up with somethign else, but this is at the very least a lead Hope this helps Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen."
