Royal Asscher

[lillibear]

Has anyone purchased a Royal Asscher diamond ring at Jared or Helzberg (when they sold them)? If so, how did you find the quality?

From what I have seen RA strarted out being very well cut then went through a rough patch where they were only ok then went back to being very well cut. ASET or IS image will quickly sort them.

Thanks Karl! Do most jewelers give you an ASET or IS image?

Anyone who has a RA, please post a photo. I've never seen any other than on the website.

Thanks Ace! That is a gorgeous ring.

Do you detect any tint in with I color in person? Jared only sells the I color with white gold, and I wasn‘t sure how much tint there would be.

OMG, what a gorgeous Asscher! Did Leon Mege source the diamond? He certainly makes incredible rings.

Thank you.

I'm not very color sensitive on colorless diamond so I don't detect much tint. I'm more into H-J person myself so I might be biased. Lol Of course these things will vary from stone to stone. I don't detect much tint on my specific stone.

No he did not. I got the stone from DBOF over a decade ago. They used to carry quite a few of RAs.

What or who is DBOF?

What or who is DBOF?

Diamond brokers of Florida. I think they used to be an authorized dealer a long long time ago. Not anymore.
