Show Me Your Asscher Eternity/Anniversary Bands!

Matthews1127 · Aug 18, 2017

Things are getting real, PSers!!
I met with my jeweler, today, to give the go to source 0.25-0.30ct, G, SI2 (eye clean)-VS1, Royal Asscher diamonds with l x w ratio 1.00:1/each to build my 7 stone Royal Asscher Anniversary Band! I'm hoping to hear something around Tues., next week. This project will take some time, so I have time to toss around ideas for a while. I would like to narrow down my details. I believe it will help during the process, and speed things up, when construction begins.
I'd love to see everyone's Asscher Bands to get an idea of proportion, and finalize how I want to set them; I'm on the fence: U-Prong or Trellis? I plan to stack this band with my wedding set, and allow it to stand on its own as a RHR. My concern is height off my finger, and the general aesthetics. I'm also tossing around metal color; Rose Gold, White Gold, Platinum, or a combo?
Please share photos of your bands!! I need some inspiration!!!
Many thanks!!!

It's official!!! The sourced Asschers were ordered/requested, today!
Seven 0.25ct ,G, SI (to start), and Seven 0.30-0.33ct, G, SI (to start) eye clean diamonds were requested with exact dimensions of 1.00:1 l x w ratio @ 3.00-3.25-3.75mm/each squared.
All 7 are to be the exact same proportions.
Now, the waiting begins....
If any of these specifications can be met, the next step is to look at them, and determine if they are keepers, or if they need to be sent back, and we have to continue our search...
To those of you who have ventured down this path, do you have any words of wisdom or advice?
What was your experience like?
Please, share your photos & stories, and feel free to jump in with any helpful hints!!

Beautiful bands all.

Matthews1127 · Aug 23, 2017

Update: I am disappointed, but not discouraged.
I just heard from my jeweler. She requested 7 0.25ct G, SI Asschers and 7 0.33ct G, SI Asschers. The only hit close to her request were Square Cut Emeralds, G VS1, and they were a bit larger...closer to 0.50ct, and my fingers are too small to stack a 0.50ct x 7 band; it will be too wide to stack, and it will easily become a full eternity, instead of my desired 3/4.

Not to mention, they're not Asschers!!

I was surprised at the price: $7,300! That's a lot less than I expected, but it falls in the middle of my estimated range between $5,000-$9,000.
We agreed to wait until late Sept. to try, again. Perhaps, we'll get lucky. We're not buying in bulk, which may make this much more difficult.
I'll be sure to keep everyone posted!
Keep sharing! If you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know! I'll ride this train all the way to the funny farm, if I have to!!

Are you thinking it won't fit flush with your new E-Ring? It certainly will "go with" your ER...but you'll have space between them. Perhaps, a spacer would help?

Matthews1127 · Sep 15, 2017

I'm bumping this thread. I know there are plenty out there who have photos & experiences to share!!!
I am still searching for my 7 Asschers, and I'm interested in learning & reading as much as I possibly can about everyone's experience creating/purchasing their own beautiful bands! Suites are so tough to find; especially Asschers!!!

This will be a long journey for me, but it will be well worth the effort to have the finished product!!!
Share as much & as little as you like!!
Show me the bling!!

Here is a very old thread of mine.

@Matthews1127 Have you tried reaching out to Tami and Yekutiel at ID jewelry in NYC? They made my (very plain in comparrison MRB eternity band) and I know they do assschers too. They were able to specially make my ring so the diamonds would sit low to the finger.

What size Asschers did you use? Cttw: 6.25...but how large was each diamond? What diameter were they, squared...do you remember?

canuk-gal · Sep 15, 2017

HI:

Approximately 37 points each. That's all I know!

cheers--Sharon

I'm giving my jeweler the opportunity to source them for me. I want 7 Asschers approx 25-33pts, each. The diameter has to be exact, or it won't work....
The only match they made, so far were square Emeralds, and they were closer to 50pts...way too large for my little fingers....

So, the search continues....
If my search with my jeweler continues to turn up nothing, I will enlist the help of other vendors; this ring will be mine...my DH promised...lol!!
Thank you for the information, and referral to IDJ. I just may go that route...

Do you still want royal asschers?

I'd prefer Royal Asschers, yes...
A suite of 7 approx. 3.0-3.75mm square at between .25-.33pts, each...

mrs-b · Sep 17, 2017

Not at all what you're looking for - but this is my asscher eternity - 2ctw 7 pointers.

nala · Sep 17, 2017

Here is my 7 stone asscher cut band with my old setting. It is a .75 tcw. About 3 mm wide I think.

scarsmum · Sep 17, 2017

Here's 10 approximate 30pters that might be worth investigating. Maybe she'll do a deal?

scarsmum · Sep 17, 2017

scarsmum · Sep 17, 2017

Oh whoops, I mean 11!

scarsmum · Sep 17, 2017

and also these 6 approximately 25 pters. https://loupetroop.com/listings/bands/price-drop-1-dot-54-asscher-cut-diamond-band

scarsmum · Sep 17, 2017

Sorry, but Royal Asschers are like hens teeth, maybe because they are under licence.

scarsmum · Sep 17, 2017

I did a little investigating and found this - http://www.nationaljeweler.com/diam...-royal-asscher-launches-loose-diamond-program

Only diamonds over .75 are sold loose by RA, and even then only in limited numbers. I think if you're heart is set on RA you will have to either buy a pre-made ring or look for perhaps the long term for something pre-owned.
