Asscher arrived now how to set it....

[RLG]

I went and picked up our loose asscher from UPS this morning. It is so awesome! I think we are going to keep it. The specs on the stone are 1.59 I VVS1. The original post with a video link is here:https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/asscher-on-hold-please-take-a-look.73983/

I took some quick photos. I am going to have to work on my photography skills. I have no idea how some of you ladies get such clear pictures of your asschers.

I''m taking suggestions on settings. I am leaning towards a three stone with trap or bullet sides.
The photos (I hope

).

another.

I guess thats it for now. It really dosen''t look all grainy in real life. Thanks again for all of your help.

I personally would do a five stone from Leon. Step cut traps or halfmoons with long bullets (look like tapered baguettes) in the shank. That would be my first choice.

thanks for the suggestion gypsy. This ring is lovely http://www.artofplatinum.com/4images/details.php?image_id=214. Is there a picture or thread that has a step cut center stone with half moons? I''m going to go google for somemore ideas.

As much as I love Leon rings, I feel like all those side stones take away from the asscher itself. I really like the asscher with tapered baguettes which accentuates the shape of the asscher, and I also like Gypsy's delicate diamond halo which also makes the stone look larger.

Your stone is beautiful!!!

I adore the tapered baguettes/bullets with Asschers.... also small-ish trapezoids. On the other end of the spectrum, this Daniel K knocks me out. There''s an Asscher in there somewhere!

2.04 ct Asscher with bullets...

This is one of my absolute faves for an Asscher.

It "beefs" it up a bit, and adds a lil extra bling, but keeps the shape of the Asscher the focal point. Stunning.

I believe it''s a LM, but not 100% positive.

Ditto Ellen! That is one of my favorite settings of all time! It''s a Leon for sure.

I definitely agree on the pave halo. That setting has been my favourite for years!

 

[RLG]

thank you all for your help. we are going to look and try on some settings over christmas holiday. So I''ll let you know what I choose after the new year. Happy holidays!

Sorry no suggestions for a setting from me.

Just compliments for such a wonderful stone. You could stick it to your finger with blu-tack and it would look stunning.

Please keep us [me!] updated!

Ellen, that is the ring I was going to suggest as well. I believe it''s Lovey''s LM.
