Thoughts on this custom Asscher Setting??

[leanlower0]

Please post your thoughts on this custom designed Asscher setting. Which is more unique and fitting to the Asscher stone? The custom design or the shown asscher channel setting.

I cant figure out how to attach more than one file in the same post. It greys out after one upload.

Last option. Thanks.

I love the channel-set band: I think it''s classic, elegant, and wonderfully Art Deco, *very* appropriate to an asscher.

The custom design, on the other hand ... I''m not a fan. I know part of it is just the CAD, but it looks chunky and ungraceful, and like it will put the center stone very high up. Also, it looks jarringly modern in combination with the center stone. Definitely voting for the channel band!

I like the last option - smoother look and feel.

#1 looks to manly and modern for an asscher. I much prefer #2.

If you''re marrying a quasi-butch-ish architect or engineer: #1
Any other woman: #2

#1 looks very dated to me, a refugee from the 80''s/90''s?

Yup, #2 is much more classic to me anyway...

I am not a fan of the 1st one at all. Just too chunky and too "rough" in the lines.

I have tried on a ring very much like the 2nd one and I really did like it a lot, so that is the one I would go with.

#2 has classic good looks and wearability going for it. #1 is heavy, high, chunky and "in-your-face". I think most people would go with #1 as being a better long term selection. #1 is a far bolder choice that may not be "right" a few weeks after it is on the hand.
