dutchie, has she specifically shown an interest in an Asscher? They are beautiful, I''m a huge fan, but not everyone is. And again, I think a round would be safest (if you don''t know), and definitely sparkliest.
First, you need pics. JA isn''t showing one, and I know BN won''t give you one. And I''m no Asscher expert, that''s strm. If you really, really want to compare the JA stone with the GOG, make a new thread stating you have 2 Asschers to compare so strm sees it.
I''ll also say this, in watching people buy Asschers, more great ones have come from GOG than anywhere else. He (Jon) specializes in them, and has great suppliers. My "guess" would be, that the JA stone won''t be as nice as the GOG, but it''s just a guess. And GOG is very reputable. I bought my first internet diamond from them, no worries. But do a search on here if you want more than just my assurance!
likely visibly off square too someone sensitive too it.
Is it pendant distance eyeclean? (ask them)
Will she be unhappy if she sees an inclusion up close?
otherwise the JA stone looks pretty good.
The GOG asscher is better cut.
