Hi everyone!
First off, I want to THANK YOU all for the valuable information that you provide. With the knowledge that I got on this website, my fiancee & I were able to design the ring of my dreams in a very reasonable budget :)

I've always wanted an asscher cut stone, and after reading everything on this site I realized the importance of parameters beyond the 4Cs which definitely aided in our purchase. The setting was inspired by ones I saw on this site, especially katmari's beautiful ring. After we received the stone, I threw away any ideas of side diamonds as the beauty of the cut was just breathtaking.

Finally, I just want to say that while I was a bit nervous that an asscher stone under 1 carat might not perform as well, but I am absolutely thrilled with the size of my stone. It's perfect for my work environment (lab setting) where I sometimes need to push the stone to the side to wear gloves.

OK, here are the stats!
Diamond: 0.85 carat asscher, color: H, clarity: VS 1, Cut: Excellent, Depth: 72.4 (a little deep, but I think the price was discounted), Table: 60, Measurements: 5.15 x 5.11 x 3.70 mm
Setting: 19K white gold, by Sonora Jewelry Design, 2 mm wide tapered to 1.5 mm at the stone, ring size: 7

& finally, here is the bling :)

I love how this cut dances in the light.. sometimes it looks like the sparkliest, most fiery stone, and sometimes it's the hall of mirrors
 
Gorgeous! :love: I love the solitaire setting, the stone really speaks for itself!
 
Wow those photos are GREAT! I also really love the size -it looks incredibly classy and timeless :love:

I love asschers in simple settings, you did awesome!!
 
Thanks so much guys. You are all incredibly kind! This forum is awesome.

It's hard to see, but the basket is in the shape of a heart. We were able to make this ring for under $3400, which was really important to us (grad students, both).
 
Your ring is very pretty. It looks wonderful on your hand.
 
Oh WOW!!!! I love it! Congrats! And good job with your budget!
 
Your ring is done perfectly, its so elegant! And it looks wonderful on your finger!
 
Oh wow, that is just sooo pretty!! Looks lovely on you!
 
Lovely asscher, great size on her hand and PERFECT choice in the setting-- it really sets off the diamond in the best way, plus the heart is subtle and elegant.
 
HI:

Very beautiful ring!

cheers--Sharon
 
Ooh, love it! :love: You basically have the same ring I first fell in love with when DH and I started ring shopping. Our budget was about 1/3 of yours, though, so I didn't end up with an asscher, but maybe someday. :naughty:
 
VERY nice - looks amazing on your hand ! :love: Very delicate but substantial :appl:
Congratulations on your engagement!
 
GORGEOUS!! Congratulations on your engagement!!! :appl: :appl:
