berkefamily2 Rough Rock Total Posts: 7 Last Post: 11/4/2005 Member Since: 9/19/2005	I appreciate all the input from the resident experts. I am somewhat frozen as of now as to what fancy cut diamond I want, and with many of the local jewelry stores they do not carry a good selection, so I pick through the internet, classifieds, etc... and need another opinion if some you kind people would not mind. 2.01 Carats Shape and Cut: Asscher Color Grade: D Clarity Grade: SI1 Measurements: 6.78 x 6.79 x 5.01 mm Depth: 73.8% Table: 76.0% Girdle: Slightly Thick to Thick, Polished Culet: None Polish: Good Symmetry: Good Fluorescence: Faint Blue Crown 13.8 Pavillion 55.6 13890 is the price. Opinions as to the cut would be appreciated. I don''t have a Sarin or anything else Robert H Berke

James Allen Schultz Cut Rock Total Posts: 247 Last Post: 11/13/2009 Member Since: 6/18/2002	berkefamily2, The only thing good about the diamond is the price. Under 14K for a two carat "D" Asscher isn't going to happen unless the diamond is visibly included. While it is possible to find such a big stone in SI quality that might have acceptable inclusions (note I say acceptable - not totally eye-clean) I would bet that this diamond has inclusions which we usually deem as "offensive". You might be able to live with a mediocre cut, but when you stare at your diamond and an inclusion stares back you've got a problem... Jim Schultz www.JamesAllen.com

I have a 2ct Asscher. My color isn't very good (GIA "I" color) but I do have vvs-2 clarity. If I were you, I would go to a E or F or even G color and get a better clarity diamond. I think "I" is the lowest/warmest color anyone should think of for an Asscher...Although I wouldn't trade my real antique asscher platinum diamond ring for the world since the love of my life picked it out!!! Anyway, I don't know much about asschers except that the ones I have seen that are SI clarity can (not always) be a problem.

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,929 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	We saw Stephan's old K 3c asscher at WF during our visit and it was a stunner. Color was definitely visible against a RB J stone (the K stone looked like old paper color...)but it was such a charmer, it looked 'vintage', and the color would work great in an old antique style setting. Just a beautiful stone! So depends on what you LIKE for color visibility in these types of stones, but they do show color and clarity inclusions more easily than a RB or other highly faceted stone. ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

I was afraid of what some people on these boards might say since many seem to think anything under near-colorless is not worth getting. I love my "I" in a vintage setting.
