Awesome stone, Kenny! Congrats on your purchase! Maybe you can have it implanted in your wrist-LOL jk No, but if the tension is doable, that would really be some ring!
Your stone has very little leakage Kenny - but when seen from various angles - which you will do from time to time (unless you spend the rest of your life glued to looking at this gem face onDate: 11/27/2006 12:26:04 AM

I wonder if the black would darken the stone though.
Do asschers collect the colors below the girdle and send them up through the crown?
Could the experts chime in on this?
Garry just posted my stone''s ASET image with white indicating leakage.
I didn''t see much leakage (white).
Doesn''t that mean the light coming up through the crown came from the crown since it it blue, green red, etc?
Wouldn''t that reason that the ''leakage'' would be visible through the top as light entering the pavilion?
So those white leakage spaces would show up black from the ring?
I could go nuts with this.... put it in place of a tooth.... have it surgically implanted in your navel (theres a thread on hangout on implantings lol) one big manlyman earring - oooh how about a bangle?Date: 11/28/2006 12:26:20 AM

thanks for the very accurate description of stereo vision and its effects Kenny.Date: 11/29/2006 2:56:45 PM

Next, this is the first asscher I’ve really seen up close.
There is definitely a 3-D thing going on.
It’s wild!
It really does pull you in.
When you rock it up and down the 3-D effect is very powerful.
The horizontal bars move in a way that seems to be an optical illusion.
It is quite hypnotic.
This strange effect is only seen when you rock the asscher up and down.
But when you rock it side to side you’d expect the vertical bars would also do the same thing, but they don’t.
I believe this is because our eyes are positioned side by side, not one above the other.
Asscher movement in one axis is parallel with the plane of our two eyes, but movement in the other axis is not.
If you have not seen asschers in person you are missing something.
A still photo does nothing to capture their magic.
A video will not either because a camera has only one lens.
The effect is dependent on how we see in stereo, with two eyes.

I definitely want to see more of what I paid for.
I’m going with a tension setting or if I go with Morell, who does not do tension, it will have little or no metal blocking the astonishing side view.
now I''m gonna have to go back and look at your rings again deco!! the ring I''m designing has a "trough" though I''d thought of it as a bowl LOL! And kenny, the design for my ring is leaving a naked side view as well with a deep V to view it - though I''m having 8 prongs so it won''t be AS naked - with your 8 sides you could easily do 4 nice thick big prongs at each corner with a mirrored bowl underneath - or trough haha - and some up with a quite masculine piece that still has nakey stone side views!Date: 11/29/2006 3:29:27 PM

Cool description, Kenny! Love it!
The hypnotic effect you''re describing ... you won''t believe your EYES if you set it in a setting with a mirrored trough ... when it''s shined up to perfection - it blows my eyes out of their sockets!!! CRAZY psychadelic mind-tripping!
For that reason ALONE I''d suggest ixnaying Tension & going with a setting with lots of sideview but a reflective surface (ideally mirrored) beneath the Asscher. You won''t be sorry!
I will say -- the super Wowie effect only lasts as long as the mirror stays polished to perfection ... perhaps Ultrasonics or home steam cleaners would do the trick but I don''t own one. Honestly I couldn''t TAKE IT if my stone looked like it does fresh from the jewelers. But once in a while is VERY VERY COOL!
you are SUCH a tease!!!!Date: 11/29/2006 4:30:32 PM
