Photos of 2 ct. Asschers on 4.5 ring size please!

[urchin4]

Hello! This is my first post after becoming obsessed with people''s stories on this site! So, I''m a newbie. This post has everything to do with the fact that I make it impossible for people to surprise me. This also works the other way around as I get too excited when trying to surprise anyone else and usually end up telling and ruining the surprise. Having said all of this, I suspect my boyfriend is designing my E-Ring and has chosen a 2.04 Asscher with a possible halo.
Would anyone mind posting photos of what this might look like in real life thus perpetuating my disgusting desire to not be surprised!!!!
I blame my sister for opening the trunk of my mothers car when we were little, showing me my Christmas presents really weren''t from Santa.

THANKS!

I see no one''s responded. I''m just chiming in to say I wear size 4 and 2 carats is going to look very big and beautiful and classy - if it were I (and it''s NOT) - I would not halo a 2 ctw on a size 4.5.
Just my 2 cents.

 

[mrssalvo]

well, a 2 carat asscher will look smaller than a 2 carat round so If you love halo''s I don''t see anything over the top haloing a 2 carat asscher on a 4.5 ring size. it will however be attention grabbing with the halo which can be a good thing if it''s your style.

a 2.04 is going to be a really good size for you depending on the depth of the stone and how big it faces up. A 2ct should be around the 7mm L to W ratio and I''ve recently tried on a 2.06 and I wear a size 6 and it was gorgeous. It''ll be great! and if he does a halo... all the better for finger coverage! post pictures!!!

I agree with Motown, the 2 cts will look gorgeous on your small little finger. I have a 2.71 ct asscher and my finger is a size 6 and I think it looks divine! Halo it if you adore the look, but don''t do it purely for coverage. The stone will look stunning and sizable on your finger. I love asschers with baguettes, traps, smaller asschers or emerald cuts for suggestions.

Hi there, I wear a size 5, and this pic is with a 2.25 ct asscher, so maybe it''s about the same ratio - the stone was 7.1 x 7.1:

How exciting, please post pictures when you get it.

 

[motownmama]

I find vespergirl''s picture irresistable! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That''s the look I would go for, if I were in your shoes (which I am not).

THANKS!

Charlesjade! Congrats on your impending engagement and what''s going to be a gorgeous e-ring!

I don''t have any pictures, but I have a 4.25 sized hand and I tried on a 2 carat asscher one time that looked awesome on my hand!! It was a great size that was large without being overly large.

Hello to all who responded! I am actually the person who posted the question wanting photos of 2 ct. Asscher on a 4.5 ring size. Long story short, I had to change my username....
Thank you to all who replied. This is so fun! I am patiently awaiting the official proposal so when it does happen, I will definitely post photos. I already have my dress, so the official proposal would be nice, right?
I was a little concerned about the size of the diamond being a little freakish on my skinny but long fingers but all of your comments have made me feel like I won''t look like Liberace afterall!

Thanks so much! I love seeing all of your pics!

I''m sure after hanging around PS, you''ve heard of DSS, or Diamond Shrinkage Syndrome.

At first, the 2 ct. Asscher will seem HUGE to you, but eventually, you''ll grow into the size and it wil l feel comfortable. halo or no! We just want to see pics when he proposes!

I wanted to share with you all photos of my engagement ring (far more than I ever could''ve hoped for). I wanted to share it with those of you who offered your opinions and even those that didn''t! I really love it and I hope you will too! Thanks for taking the time to offer your words of advice and wisdom! It seems as though my sweet sweet boyfriend changed his mind and chose a radiant. I couldn''t love it more!

 

[June4]

I wanted to include an image of all the beautiful filigree/etching. I feel like it is a little piece of art on my finger!!

 

[June4]

....and another

 

[June4]

I think it could be helpful to others if I provided a little information on the ring. I have a 4.5 ring size. The diamond is a 2.03CT Radiant and there is around 1 CT of tiny rounds in the pave setting total. I love vintage inspired jewelry so the entire setting is finished with the beaded edges (mill-grain) and the band has hand etching on each side.
I was hoping someone might be able to offer me a suggestion as to what I can do to remedy the constant twirling around on my finger. If I size down, I will have trouble in the summer getting over my knuckle and onto my finger. I am aware of the little balls I can have put inside the band but I''ve had those before and they didn''t work very well. I recently purchased some tacky putty, rolled it into a little ball and put it under my band! My finace thinks it is ridiculous that I have had to "rig" my ring but I don''t want to risk damaging it with the constant flopping around on my finger.

Thanks again!

Thats one stunning ring!! Congrats!!

 

[vespergirl]

Gorgeous, congrats! I just love it - radiants are so beautiful. Just so you know, I traded the asscher I posted in the photo for a round brilliant, because in the end I wanted something more sparkly than a step-cut. So, I think that your fi made a good choice going with the radiant instead - you will love all the sparkle!

 

[Burk]

It''s gorgeous! Congrats on your engagement!

 

[kcoursolle]

That is one beautiful ring!! It definitely deserves it''s own thread so that everyone will see it!

 

[musey]

Beautiful! Ditto kcoursolle, it needs its own thread!!!!!

 

[June4]

Thank you so much for the kind words! We are both very excited! I''m afraid I''m a bit of a novice on PS so I''m not sure what you mean when you say my ring needs it''s own thread??!!

 

[June4]

Thanks for the congrats!!!! Unfortunately, I do not have the "stats" but I will definitely post as soon as I have the information. Thanks again!

 

[mrscushion]

Congratulations! I think what the above posters mean by "its own thread" is that you should start a new topic in the Show Me The Ring Forum (i.e. right here) that is all about showing off your gorgeous rock! It''s got to have tons of pics!

 

[Deelight]

Congrats it is beautiful , as for the spinning some people have used horseshoe sizers (a little insert thingy that slips into your ring) so that might help .

 

[FrekeChild]

What a gorgeous ring!!! I love all of the antique-y detail!!!

 

[tyty333]

Wowza! Congraulations on your engagement and such a lovely ring!
