Nervous Boyfriend - Rate My Asscher

[Lula]

I am so excited- the diamond is here!!!! It looks awesome. This pic does not do it justice. keep in mind this shot is with it still in the little plastic case.



it looks huge in person (for its weight) and it really sparkles (for an asscher).

turns out, it actually has 5 pavillion facets. i read some more interesting information here http://www.bespoke-gems.com/SacredGeometrics_Gemstones_Designs_Squares_Asscher.php where a gemcutter describes classic asschers and references some "literature." One day ill find someone that can explain it properly.

Again, I found this stone through Pricescope, purchased it through Union Diamond for $8,884, and could not be happier.

It's great that you got such a good price for what looks to be a very nice asscher. Please post more photos. The link you posted seems to indicate that adding an additional (5th) facet to the pavilion amps up the sparkle, at least in low RI stones. Diamonds are high RI stones, so I'm curious about what effect the additional facet has on the appearance of the stone.

I am very happy you like the diamond! I'd also like to see some shots directly at the top (face) of the stone just so we can see how the facets appear with different photography. I really love asschers and hope this one is a winner for you!

Love, love, love the vintage mount! Beautiful! Do you have any photos of the top of the ring? I, too, just purchased a stone from Union Diamond (emerald cut). Couldn't be happier!

Sorry its been so long!! I promised to return with more pictures so here's a good one (from the top)! I proposed December 1st after a wonderful night out, in the hotel where we are having our wedding reception. She said yes, did not cry, and loves the ring!
