Hi all – this forum is truly amazing. I have learned so much just from scrolling through various asscher threads, and I would still love some additional inputs on my decision-making process.
I have always been drawn to Asschers, and I'm hoping to find a stone that checks off as many of the boxes as possible, with a focus on balance — that is, balance of surface area in relation to finger size (4.75), as well as balance of table vs. depth %. For ex, I've read that a better Asscher cut has a table % that is equal or less than the depth %. (My silly chart shows boxes around the table/depth %s where table < depth for that reason.)
We are talking really small hands, so I want to be mindful about picking a stone size that looks beautiful and wearable but not costume-y or tacky. I know it will matter how the stone is set as well, but I’d love to hear your thoughts on how you might arrive at a decision.
I've been leaning towards the 4.07 and 3.82, but I also have not yet seen the 3.23 and 3.05 IRL.
The photos are screenshots from videos since I do not have direct video, but please let me know what other info might be helpful to provide. I know it ultimately comes down to seeing all the stones in person, and these pictures simply don't do them justice.
Thanks so much in advance – I'm really looking forward to learning more.
