Opinions Requested on Asscher

[kevneerg]

Hi All!

I''ve been reading through the forums for weeks now and googling everything I can on Asscher''s. After thinking I know enough to make a purchase, I learn more information and its driving me nuts. The concensus on Asschers seems to be that you have to see the diamond in person or get lots of pictures. Well, I came across this one today and was hoping I can get some opinions on it. The website shows the actual diamond magnified.

please let me know what you think.

Thanks in advance!

its not an asscher but is a mislabeled emerald cut.
1.10 l/w definitely don''t qualify as an asscher.

Hi Kev,

I''m not an expert, but I do long to own one someday.

I can say this though, after looking at many on here. What I think the experts will tell you, as I will, is that unless you like the look, you want all the windmills to come together in the middle, forming an x.


Hopefully the real experts will be along soon to chime in.
