I did a cursory google search but haven't come up with any contemporary examples. I photoshopped some princess and French cuts over the RBs on this yummy pink Asscher ring, just trying to get an idea of what it might look like... Is a halo of French cut diamonds something you can request for a custom piece? I don't see them out there (new), so maybe they don't work as well as the little rounds. I do like the way they look in images of vintage rings. _________________________________ "Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without..." Confucius

To me princess cuts are very modern- more than round and def. more than the French cut, and they don't "go" w/ asschers. That's a stunning ring- where did you find it?

I know I've seen others with various combos with baguette, french and rounds posted here and somewhere on the PS vendors' sites, so it can be done.

The ring is outrageous - it's from amgad.com... 1.38 ct pink Asscher. I think it'll be my dream ring for a while - at least a dream rock. I did the princesses first because I just wanted to visualize something very square and I didn't think it was realistic to find Asschers small enough for a halo. I knew the princess notion was all wrong... then I remembered French cuts. I like it, too, but I don't see any thing like it out there. I was wondering if there might be a technical reason... _________________________________ "Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without..." Confucius

Yep - I like the baguette halo, too... but it can be a LOT of halo. The Frenchies seem sleek and delicate. http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=49047 http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=53212 My photoshop pink sapph knock off of the Daniel K... _________________________________ "Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without..."
