Mike Asscher...May I ask you a question?

[Beansy]

Hi Mr. Asscher,

I''ve had the opportunity to email Edward Asscher twice about finding a royal (would he be your father?) We were very fortunate, however, in finding a non-branded square emerald in the 1 ct range.

My question is, and I feel lucky to ask you, what are your thoughs on settings. Do you feel a square emerald would be better fitted in a baguette setting, or a single row of pave in 2mm size?

We just cannot narrow it down. Most people feel the baguette would look lovely, but I adore pave. What are your thoughts.

Thanks for your time

Hey Mike!

Why is the faceting different on the RA as compared to the antique Asschers? Aren't the originals thought to be the standard against which others are measured?
