It is perfect!

And has a home readily available - that means new eye candy for us soon, right?

Yingh... no home yet for this baby. In the box it goes...

TL, what kind of setting would you recommend for Mochi??? Do they have settings specifically for Asschers at LOGR???

This one would fit an asscher, but I don''t know if it''s Mochi''s style.

I like that setting. I think it should be protected, though, since it''s a zircon.

Don''t feel bad Mochi, I didn''t see it either. I was too busy gazing at your beautiful stone.

I''m so bad about just zeroing in on what I like about that particular object and not seeing around it.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!What an amazing stone!!!

Freke... I''m going to take more pictures tomorrow, I want to see how it looks in the sun!

ME TOO!!!! I mean, if it''s doing THAT inside, it''ll be a ball of fire outside!!!!

Maybe tomorrow will be a better day for sunshine...

Wow, a beautiful stone!

But I''m clueless about how to set it, cause you have to keep in mind that a setting should protect the stone as much as possible, cause it can chip more easily than some other stones, but I''m not sure it would survive the process of bezel setting, for the same reason. Maybe a raised halo (the one that sits as high as the stone) would be best.

Thank you Ma re. I''m up for suggestions...

Wow Mochi is that ever a keeper - it''s beautiful. I bet you are over the moon with it. I think zircons are a very worthwhile stone. I saw a suite of ovals last year that just blew me away, so sparkly.

I think I''ve got to put a zircon asscher on my wish list now. I know what you mean though about it being deep. Out of interest what is the depth mm of your stone?

I think Leon''s r986 would be perfect for this. I''d love to know if someone like stuller or adwar has a stock setting that''s similar.

Keep us posted now!

I love that setting by Leon.. the claw''s are TDF!!

Ooh, I really like this stone! It should be set in something special that showcases it for sure!

Thank you Tgal!! I love your avatar, BTW.. that''s how I feel at work.

Gorgeous! I live the shots where you can see the color play. What a lovely, lively stone!

It''s very lively and such a sparkler... I just wish I can somehow capture it on camera.

What a sparkler! I think zircons are so underated! I would love to see more of them. They really can sparkle with such a high refractive index! It is beautiful Mochi.... and honestly, I don''t think it looks that bad in that setting. Maybe adding yellow gold prongs will make the difference. I understand being impatient.... that zircon needs to be adorned,however, I also like the setting that TL posted. More pics!!

CCN...yes, they sure are underated. They are one of my favorite stones. I''ll take more pictures tomorrow.

I love zircons and that is such a pretty stone. Zircons can survive the bezeling process; I have one.

Kismet... do you have a picture... would love to see it!

I am not sure if they can, I don't own any of their settings. Perhaps Lauren can chime in or TL. You could probably call and ask them too. I do love it in that setting though. It is a knock out stone and setting. I really love it.

Maybe they will chime in and let me know. I do think it looks sweet in that setting also...

I just adore this stone, Mochi!!!!!

You could always have your jeweler add prongs to the 8x8. I love that setting, and that Asscher rocks in it!

With her aqua buddy..

I'm going to have to recreate this pic tonight! Just got my yellow Asscher Scap back from Peter last night . . . I also have an Asscher Aqua buddy for mine.

 

[FrekeChild]

It''s so beautiful!!! Even without sun you can tell it''s something special!!!

 

[icekid]

What a stone- I never would guessed it would have so much SPARKLE from Gene''s photo. STUNNING!

mochi- what else do you have hiding up your sleeve?

 

[princessplease]

Lovely!!!

 

[loriken214]

AWESOME....what a beauty...way to go Mochi!!!

Lori

 

[chrono]

Great dispersion. I''d probably do a more closed setting to deepen and highlight the colour (and protect the zircon).
