An ASET image is generally most useful for fancy cuts. You want to see a good bit of red. This one seems to have green as the predominant color and little red and it may be kind of dull in the center. I think it's okay but not great.

Here's an example of a better asscher ASET. Note, though, that as the stone is tilted back and forth, there would be some alternating of red and blue.

should be able to see the asscher posted above in person later this week. but given all the positive reviews/experiences, i decided to email gog. i've exchanged some emails with david. hopefully, they can find some asschers that i'll love.

can't wait to hear back from them and post some pics for opinions!

That actually is how I found my asscher for a right hand ring. This is the video they made for me:

i know these pictures are a little blurry but i wanted to see what everyone thought of this asscher i just received. i have a few to check out from gog this friday - but wanted to get some opinions on this one. thanks in advance!

Is it the same one as in the original post? Because it also has a pretty dark square in the center.

It is the same one from the pictures above. What would cause a dark table? Light leakage? This picture is a better representation of what it looks like in person. I'm not really seeing the dark center.

the guys at GOG just put together a video for me and i wanted to get some opinions on these three different asschers. it looks pretty clear to me that the first one is the winner but wanted to see what other people thought.

i'm really liking the first one, but i'm wondering if ppl think i can find one with a brighter table. thanks in advance for your input

Based on ASET and the video provided by GOG, I like the first the best!

I love how the first one has the "step" effect. Definitely the winner for me!

This is a great thread! I love how GOG posted the Aset with the video.

All 3 look lovely, but the comparison of the optics, the 1st diamond takes the cake.
