Finally! Bought a Royal asscher for my girlfriend

[kanne]

lol. too funny.

Morticia. I totally agree about the high, not-so-interesting setting. IMO Fortunoff's is not doing a great job at marketing the RA. I mean come ON. This is a luxury item with a designer tag. Show me settings specifically designed to showcase the Asscher cut.

As we all know the asscher is not the homecoming queen. That title goes to the RB. (IMO the asscher/se cut is the MOST gorgeous but I am wild for se's). BUT if you are going to be one of the select B&Ms to carry RA then at least showcase it!! RA's/Fabrikant could send their stones with custom setting options. They could hire a master jeweler like Leon Mege or a designer like Daniel K and get a line going.

On the plus side, the Fortunoff's salesperson was very educated on the RA.


The lucky girl that will get this ring (Lauren??

) has a BF who has done his research and designed an elegant setting with claw prongs (these are so great I can't say enough esp on a 2ct stone). Great job.

Wow! That ring is stunning! I absolutely adore it! I''m a huuuuuge Asscher lover as well, and keep secretly wishing you were actually my B/F posting anonymously.

You aren''t him, are you?

I don''t know! You may be her posting anonymously! The only way to know for sure is to post your picture

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. I am very pleased with the outcome

Here it is! The RAC I purchased for my girlfriend, set in a totally custom solitaire setting. I chose this design to make the stone ''float''. IMO, it also brings out the true size of the RAC (as some of you know, RACs do not show their size as they are very deep stones)
comments welcome

Hmmmmm..... comments........ drop dead gorgeous! What a beautiful stone and wonderfully simple setting. Lucky girl
