It’s done! I love it! It’s small and low profile for understated days! It looks great with my asscher 5 stone band.

Two more pics..I’m wearing Ashlee with my Tiffany baguette band. She will be a great stacker. I love a gap..I feel it lets each ring stand out. Since the Tiffany band is channel
set I don’t have to wear a spacer. I’m really
enjoying her small size and low profile.

Beautiful pairing and no need for a spacer a real bonus!

Thank you @Dmndsr4evr11! I reset Ashlee from a large baguette halo to a simple baguette setting. I love her more this way..simple…. just her and a few baguettes. I have to have my baguettes..haha

Thank you at @lissyflo! I agree..It sparkles way more than it did in the halo. I may consider putting a colored stone in the halo. I think it would be beautiful..

I had a similar setting to your previous one and put a coloured stone in. I may therefore be biased but I think you’d love it - having a coloured centre really shows off the baguette halo in a way that a diamond centre can’t. It shows off that classic, understated, geometric deco look to perfection. I had a cheap-as-chips synthetic spinel put in mine and love it now, so it could be a cheap and easy way for you to really show off a beautiful setting.

Both stacks you shared are OUT OF THIS WORLD @MamaBee ! I absolutely love the new setting - she’s versatile, elegant and just everything I’d want in a step cut ring. Well done!

@lissyflo I’ve been searching for something that fits…Cheap-as-chips sounds good to me! I would love to see your ring!

I haven’t got it here at the moment but will find some pics! I had synthetic spinel rough cut to fit the setting and I think this may well be the best path for you too: anything asscher shaped is hard to match because of the windmill angles varying, plus your stone has lovely elongated proportions that seem less common. The setting style is so angular and clean that I think it needs a centre that fits perfectly. I had it done a few years ago now but the cost was very reasonable - it was essentially just the cutting as the synthetic cost was negligible. DK might be able to arrange it (I think I’m remembering correctly that he did the original setting)?

@lissyflo I took your advice. I contacted David and Amy to see if they can find a stone to fit in the space. Amy said she will look. I don’t think it will be easy..I may have to go out of my comfort zone with color if she finds something that fits..I don’t want to trash that setting. I think it’s pretty..It just didn’t go well with Ashlee. I think a colored stone would be pretty.
