Introducing my dream asscher (Distinctive gems)

[Demon]

I've been waiting to post this until the stone was cut and videos were taken, so ITS TIME!

I've wanted an Octavia for years now. I got a moissanite "Octavia" and love it, but have always wanted the real thing. Sadly, the cheapest Octavia is 11-12k, which I just cant do.

Enter Jonathan from Distinctive gems. I spoke to him about trying to source an asscher with a small table and large depth. He shared that he was in the process of designing a new cut that combines the visible steps of a traditional asscher with the fire of cuts like octavia.

He sent me these renderings and I basically died.




So I took a leap and put a deposit down for the FIRST one to be cut.

A few days ago, Jon got my stone! Here are the videos he posted on IG: https://www.instagram.com/p/CPHM-yXjuLD/?utm_medium=copy_link

And LOOK at this!!!!


I just freaking cant. Its perfect and I Iove it so much. IMHO it has the fire and angles i love about the Octavia plus the visible steps that make me love traditional asschers.

I cant wait to see it IRL and cant thank @Rhino enough. My dream asscher stone is a reality!!! Obviously I'll post a thousand more pics/videos when I get it, but thought after weeks of keeping it under wraps it was finally time to share w PS. Thank you to @YadaYadaYada for helping me offline and @Simple and Sparkly for being helpful thinking through potential options

Absolutely beautiful!

Oh, my.......at this rate, I just might as well set it up for all my income to go straight to Jonathon!

WHoA! That stone.
Yeah, we're going to need video with those pictures.
Vi-deee-ooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

I dont have the stone yet. See Jonathan's videos for eye candy I'm having them replace my current "octavia like" moissy w the new lab stone from Distinctive

 

[ksluice]

what wonderfully shocking sparkles. I love the setting too, especially with the nice cut corners! Prongs at the corners can make the stone look square rather wonderfully octagonal.

 

[poshmommy]

It's gorgeous! Congrats!!

 

[OdetteOdile]

It's gorgeous Lovedogs! I am so excited for you! And I think it will look gorgeous in that setting. You will be staring at it all day long...

 

[lindam1503]

I love it! Added bonus is your getting it from Jonathan, which gives you assurance that it is a N I C E stone.

I can't wait to see it when you have it in person--c o n g r a t u l a t I o n s!

THIS made me smile, as I can relate . When you find a vendor that consistently delivers, stick with them! Jonathan is SO good!

OMG, I am so excited that a PS member snagged this stone! <3

After seeing the videos posted on IG I messaged Jon and asked if my self-determined budget for a lab grown 8.5-9mm (not exactly sure how the carat weight measures up against those dimensions for this type of stone) would be enough for snagging one of these for my 10 year anniversary ring next year, and he thinks so. I am 100% on board to up my budget if I need to because this is STUNNING, and this is likely the closest I'll get to an Octavia.

The setting your moissy was in will be just stunning for showing off that new asscher from Jon! Thank you for sharing this journey with us, can't wait to hear your thoughts once it is on your finger. ^_^

I was never really a fan of the Asscher cut, but I gotta say, after seeing this new Heritage Asscher cut from DG, I'm totally blown away.
Jon and crew have hit a home run so far out of the park that it's now the sixth moon of Pluto!

Huge, huge congratulations to you and to DG for this amazing creation!

Now if you'll please excuse me, I have to go find my jaw...it's been AWOL since it hit the floor.

Somewhere, over the rainbow! So beautiful!

Its hereeeee! @Ella am I allowed to post an MMD stone in SMTB? if not I'll upload here.

Sadly ring has to go back bc the prongs were white gold but during the polishing process were turned back to yellow gold. So Jon and team is going to redip the prongs and "donut" and then send back.

AMAZING!

 

[lovedogs]

AMAZING!

it's just the craziest thing. It's like a hall of mirrors in the middle but then suuuuper sparkly on the outside. I really do think it's like a combo of the octavia + regular asscher.

 

[Simple and Sparkly]

@lovedogs It looks completely and perfectly at home on your hand!!! So happy that you finally got your dream! It is gorgeous and may you wear it with lots of smiles each day!! Woohoo!

 

[Diamond Girl 21]

Absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations!

 

[olliejames]

I have been stalking this thread in anticipation of your pictures. It looks amazing! Love the compass setting to show off those corners!

 

[YadaYadaYada]

Yay, so glad you put up pictures! This is just amazing, what a performer, it really is a treat for the eyes. Also gotta say, love the one with the pupster, adorable!

That's my favorite pic, of course

 

[lovedogs]

Ps. Any blue tint is the stone reflecting my phone's bright blue case Haha

 

[Ibrakeforpossums]

Absolutely beautiful!

Demon, is that a green diamond???

 

[lulu_ma]

Wow! Gorgeous! And I love the compass prongs!

So, what happens to the moissy Octavia?
Am I being too obvious? I've really started to like the darned things.

Haha I think I'll keep it, as it will likely be my only "octavia" like cut

Good description! It's crazy beautiful. If that were on my hand, I would get nothing done.

You should. Like you can have too many lovely variations?
