For those of you who have had the chance to see an Ashoka in a halo setting:
Did you find that the Ashoka cut makes the stone look much larger compared to other emeralds or other diamonds? The cut is quite striking.
Do you find Ashokas to be "less flashy" or more subtle?
In general I like emeralds because they seem less "blingy" but they are still gorgeous!
I have found a 1.6 (center stone) Ashoka I love that is set in a classic halo.
However, I am a teacher and in general my friends don't have rings that size.
The area in which I live many women do have large rings (2ct is not uncommon).
I love the ring but I feel embarrassed by the size of it. Maybe I should get something slightly smaller. I'm also not used to wearing any jewelry at all (except earrings) so this might be why I am having a difficult time with the size.
My fingers are a size 6.5 so it looks like a great size center stone for me. The first time I tried on the ring I thought it was perfect (lovely, but not "too much"). The second time I tried it on it made me slightly more nervous (thinking it was "over the top"). Partially this might be due to my immediate friend group, work, etc. etc. I have also considered only wearing it certain places and not others.
My dream ring is a beautiful and elegant ring but not one that immediately looks like it was quite an expense. I thought Ashokas could achieve that...
