Hi Everyone,

After waiting for several weeks, I finally received my asscher set in BGD Grace in rose gold. At first, they mistakenly made the ring with a wider 2.5mm setting, so they had to remake it in the original 2.0mm. I have small hands and ring size (3.25) so I think the narrower shank works better for me. Now I have to think about which band to match. This asscher is my 20th proposal anniversary present. I have the White Flash legato micropave set in rose gold for a princess cut. I am not sure if the micropave band goes well with the asscher. I am also attaching a picture with another rose gold band that I bought a couple of years ago.

Any suggestions regarding what other kinds of band (such also be around 2.0mm) would go well with the Grace? I am seriously considering the matching band since I think the asscher goes well with plain settings

Until I saw the pic with the plain RG band I was going to suggest a R pave band, but I changed my mind I love the milgrain band, it's perfect. Congrats on 20 years, your asscher is beautiful!!

What are the stats of the stone?

The ring is beautiful! In this instance, I think I would vote for the matching band. Same width, same shiny metal - your stone would truly be the star!

I really love the pave band~but I am really partial to that look~it is one of my favorites. They are all beautiful. Whatever you pick will be fantastic on your teeny tiny fingers.

Thank you everyone for your comments. I really like the simplicity of the ring. I think this is the first Grace they have made for an asscher. The basket is made with platinum since BG no longer likes to make the basket in gold.

The stats for the asscher is:

1.05 ct
H VS1
5.71 x5.71
table 58%
depth 66.2%

That really is beautiful! :love: It is perfect with the basket in platinum and shank in rose gold! And both bands look great with it! In fact, I wouldn't mind seeing it with the plain band in the middle and the pave band on the bottom. Very pretty with any combination, though!

It is magnificent! I'm going to suprise myself by saying I LOVE the micropave! It looks smashing with it. IF not that I'd go with a very plain band of the same width and height.

I love rose gold!! I I would get the matching band and then wear the pave/textured bands when you want to add a bit more bling or mix things up a bit.

Thanks for all your kind words. I am really enjoying the ring. It's always interesting to looking into an asscher. For those of you who requested, here are a few more pictures I took of the ring with several of the bands I have. I do love rose gold.

I just wanted to add that I think those prongs are perfect for the setting and for the asscher cut.

They really add to the asscher look more so than the usual rounded or pointed claw prongs.
While being a tad substantial, I'd be happy they are substantial since diamonds are so expensive and we don't want to loose them to bent prongs.

Thanks, Kenny, for your comment. I am glad you noticed and agreed with my choice to ask them to make the prongs/basket more angular with flat tips to go with the shape of the asscher. It does make the entire ring a bit different from the usual "Grace" look. When I first looked at the pictures they sent me, I also felt that the prongs were too thick, but Lesley assured me that in person they do not. And she was right. In person, the tips are barely there when you look at the ring from the top. They were also able to significantly reduce the "dount" area, per my request.
