opinions about asschers for eternity band

[snowflakeluvr]

hi,
my 18yr old college daughter just saw her dad last night as he drives through her college town to chicago every week and they have dinner...anyway, he mentioned our 20th anniversary next month...my daughter told me on the qt to come up with some ideas(gotta love GOOD kids like that

i am suddenly infatuated with asscher cut stones. i already have a 3-sided bead set round stones, about 2.84 tw i wear as my wedding ring. i also own a princess cut diamond and sapphire half eternity band(much less sparkly). i have custom diamond earrings and i heart diamond pendant(which i wear daily so don''t want another pendant) and the tcw of diamond bracelet i want is probably out of the budget right now
i thought maybe having an asscher 3/4 eternity band would be something new and different from what i am accustomed to.
any suggestions or thoughts, asscher owners? are the smaller asschers as unique and impressive as the much larger, gorgeous solitaires i see here?
thank you for any ideas or opinions. this is such fun reading for a weary mom of five. what a wonderful forum. thank you!

I absolutely LOVE the look of an asscher eternity band; that''s what I''ve chosen for my e-ring, in fact!

Check out www.signedpieces.com and take a gander at the Facets Collection. Good luck!

I''ve read some comments about small asscher stones not having that distinctive asscher look. Have you seen one IRL. Do you like asscher stones in a smaller eternity ring size?

I''ve not seen the eternity band on my hand (yet!), but I have seen the smaller weights in a 5-stone setting. They were lovely!

I do see your point, though; the geometric flashes are what''s great about asschers (to me) - and it makes sense that some of the effect would be lost on a smaller stone. That being said: the overall look that a slew of well-cut asschers kicks out couldn''t possibly be anything less than amazing.

Once my sweetie and I are ''official'', I''ll post pics in SMTR and let everyone have a peek.

They also have some nice smaller ones as well. What''s you budget if you don''t mind me asking?

Good to know because I love the look of asschers, too. I''ve never seen one IRL but I drool over the huge one on signed pieces.
