Anniversary band search, need help!

When DH and I started looking for wedding bands, I absolutely fell in love with a Jeff Cooper design (see here: http://jeffcooperdesigns.com/item.php?cat=4&item=35). It's a channel set curved band with asschers and RBs in the center. When I paired it with my ering (also here, and please excuse the old username: http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=88892), I was hooked. It was the perfect match! Unfortunately, the ring was priced above the 4K mark, and with the wedding, honeymoon, and a cross country move hanging over our heads, we decided to forgo my dream ring in favor of a plain 2mm platinum band. My current wedding set can be seen in my avatar. DH and I have decided to look at bands again for our one year anniversary. While he had mentioned previously placing an order for the ring I loved, I'm now having second thoughts about what I'd really like. So here's my request: Has anyone ever seen a channel set platinum ring with alternating princess and asscher stones? I LOVE the mirror effect of asschers, but I also love the WOW!! factor of the princess's sparkle! I know channel set rings seem to be in scare demand here, but I love how simple they look. I'd just like to see how it might look before I start mentioning it to DH. Can anyone help? ....Bueller? Bueller? "I was street smart. Unfortunately the street was Rodeo Drive." -Carrie Fisher

Asschers in smaller sizes are not very common to start with - I would imagine you would be looking at a custom job for what you are describing.. Alternatively, a "just" asscher band would be lovely - but as I recently discovered, they may not work too well in channel set due to the cut corners. An alternative is carre cuts - kinda the look of asscher without the steps or cut corners. Here is a pic of the channel band I was considering, with the carre cuts: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing." Kahlil Gibran

But that's good to know about asschers in channel settings. I wasn't aware of that, but now that you mention it, I can see how they might be problematic. I still love them, though! :) "I was street smart. Unfortunately the street was Rodeo Drive." -Carrie Fisher
