Hi Guys,
Some of you may remember that i had an Asscher tension setting ring made in October 2012.
Here is the link:

This has been an interesting few months of having the ring.
Originally the jeweller mention that a true tension is not something that he was comfortable doing and will add a bar under the diamond to join the ring itself. This will stabilise the tension. That made sense. However, when it was done, i thought it was too thick and i had it reduced in thickness to what you see in the above post. I thought i had a profile picture of the bar before we thinned it down. But, this is the only photo, and it is hard to determine.
I had the jeweller thin that bar down so that the diamond would not pick up as much of the WG colour. Well, that is my thinking, but when i now think about it, the diamond should reflect light not absorb from surroundings; but then again when you have warmer diamonds, YG or RG would be the better gold to choose.. Hmmmm...another post for that discussion, for sure.
This is the picture of it.
and the hand shot
So, roll on 2 months and then I start to notice that the diamond was getting loose in the setting!!! Oh NO!!! So, I promptly called the jeweller and told them about the situation. They have now redesigned it so that t is to the original thickness that they had made. When they showed me the picture, I was cautious as the diamond was picking up the colour of the white band and it looked like there was a grey square in the asscher.
Well, it arrived yesterday and i couldn't be happier!!!
I think, as we all know it when taking pictures, the lighting makes a difference; the position of the camera etc,etc,etc. There is no grey square from the setting filtering through the diamond.
I can only attach 4 photos, so i will add the new refreshed ring!!!
