Which asscher looks good?

[Alexiszoe]

So a local jeweler sent me these 2 asscher videos for consideration. Thoughts? I have my preference but wanted more eyes on this.

They don't use ASET so am wondering which is worth the trouble to order and see it in person.

also tagging @Karl_K , @DejaWiz and @lovedogs and @cushioncutnut for thoughts.

The first one is bad, IMHO. Too much leakage. It's almost a carre cut with how the windmills are, but either way it's not appealing to me.

Stone 2 is better, but not really showing a lot of life.

Can we find you alternatives?

Agree

The first one is not good at all, the center is lifeless... 2nd one is better but I prefer more faceting to get that beautiful windmill effect! I honestly am no expert. I don't always go by the numbers on a report but what my eyes see!

Thanks @lovedogs , @cushioncutnut and @SandraLynn. The vendor sent me another video for diamond 2 below. I wasn't even considering my asscher project this soon, but the price they are offering was really attractive. If it's not gonna be pretty though then there is no point!

Kosher diamonds on Etsy has a few Asscher cut diamond rings that may appeal to you. If they don't, Ari is the owner and he is wonderful to work with and will find you that perfect asscher. He is very honest and will get back with you right away.

You said he is local so I think it is worth him ordering it and seeing it in person!

I think #2 is worth seeing in person

Thanks @whitewave and @cushioncutnut . It's about 2.5 hours drive to the jeweler so we can definitely do it. it's just that sort of distance where we have to plan ahead. @whitewave was there anything that you liked about #2?

Get a vid in front of a bright blue or red background before traveling 2.5 hours. It will be informative one way or the other.
edit: saw the other vid with the yellow background, #1 way to much leakage and # 2 to much leakage near the center as seen in the yellow background vid.
Neither worth a trip.
Sorry im not around much at my computer due to heath issue.

I don't really like the 2nd one either, to be honest

Thanks for saving me 5 hours of driving. Sorry to hear that about your health, that's incredibly stressful. Praying things turn out for the better for you.
