Depth on asscher stone in a bezel

[lovewhitediamonds]

Help!!

Should I look at stones with lower depth % for a bezel type necklace setting? Like max 64?

I know asschers run on the deep side, and although ok for a ring, maybe not so good for a necklace?
Looking at 4.70mm-5.0mm stones.

Please let me know what you think! Thanks for your help!

The bezel is going to have to be made to match the stone so it doesn''t matter.

makes no difference if the setting is properly made.
if all else is kicken lower depth is fine and you gain a little spread usualy but not required.
The biggest problem if finding one as most of the best asschers these days are cut deeper than that.

Thanks again for your help Strm -- it is greatly appreciated!! One more question -- do you think that I still will be able to have the "mile deep" look with 4.7ish-5.0ish mm... will the cut corners be visible? I would love to see some pics of that size asscher if you know where I could find.... I''ve searched, and searched.

Thanks again !
