LOVE my Asscher center stone so I''m biased ...
I''ll also go out on a limb and say Asschers are NOT suited for sidestones (unless, like Widget''s case - the side stones are 1ct+)
Asschers have a distinctive pattern that isn''t able to be appreciated FULLY at smaller sizes. That said I do like the Tiffany deco-inspired setting that has channel set square emeralds in the band ... and someone here has a Facets pave haloed Asscher center with asschers in the band too ...
Asschers tend to look smaller for their carat weight - so they''re BEST for someone who is obsessed with them ... maybe NOT best for a ''suprise'' unless the buyer really, really think the style/pattern/cut PERFECTLY suits the intended recipient!

Ok, so Deco and Storm, based on your comments here, I guess you don''t like the side traps for my asscher? I appreciate honest opinions for sure - no feelings to worry about here.
Sorry to hijack....
...slight correction called for! Actually my sidestones are considerably less than one carat each (58 and 59 pts. respectively), and I really enjoy them....being asscher-obsessed as I am.Author: decodelighted
