Asha Asscher ring

[JC8811]

Can anyone give me some personal feedback about the Asha Asscher stone? I am interested in buying one in the Cartier setting, with a 5ct center. Does anyone have pictures? The stone is supposed to be about 10mm, and I am concerned that it would be too large and unbelieveable on my hand. I make a very good income, and my current ring is 3.25cts RB so I think I can carry it off. Any feedback? Thanks!!

The company that sells Ashas has their own website and discussion boards. You might want to visit them and ask.

5ct is a HUGE rock.

by anyone''s definition.

I''m not sure how big these stones are in the pix.... but they look really nice.

Oooooooh, the one with the trills, please.

They are not trillions... believe or not... they are something i''ve never heard off. I sure learn something new everyday!!

With a unique center diamond you need something special for the side stones. We located a pair of step-cut "calf head" diamonds. A "calf head" is a rarer shape of side diamond that resembles a triangle with the corners clipped - somewhat resembling a calf''s head.

Oh wow. Since you said that I can see it clearly now. I like it

 

[fancyrock]

I like it too!! at first i thought it was a "kite" cut. but who knew there is something out there called "calf head".

Definitely visit www.betterthandiamond.com and click to visit the Message Boards. I know that one woman on the boards has a 5 ct Asha Asscher in the Better Than Diamond Cartier Repro setting. It''s lovely! I tried, but was unable to upload one of the beautiful pics she took - someone on the BTD board will be able to direct you to the right thread.

Good luck!

The asha will look like a flawless, colorless diamond to the normal person. A 5ct, flawless, colorless, unique cut diamond isn''t something that one see''s everyday so expect to get some questions if you try to pull it off as real. A 10mm stone is LARGE... but a 3.25 is pretty big so if you are comfortable, go ahead and get it! Worst case you can return it. I''m sure it would be beautiful!
