Ladies....love,Love, LOVE all the beautiful pictures of your rings! I, too, love asher cut. I have Emerald cut ering and 3 stone ring, but asher has a similar feel to me! Thanks for sharing the glam shots!

I would look at the stones in person if you already haven't. Asscher are breathtaking but wasn't there one member here (or was it at Pricescope) who received a 2 or 1.5 asscher and it looked like a 1 carat to her and eventually within a short period of time she switched to round?

Anyways, after a quick check on BlueNile, their "signature ideal" (supposedly best cut offered on the site), a 1.51ct Asscher has measurements at 6.4mm (similar to a 1ct round). Whereas a well cut 1.5 ct round has measurements of 7.4mm.

This was on Pricescope. A lot of people got Asschers there at one point (I think about two years ago) that they later changed to rounds. On the other hand, a lot of people also got Asschers there and loved them and stayed with them.

Being that it was on Pricescope, where many are more interested in size than anything else, I don't know that that really says anything about Asschers, except that they face up small for the weight, which the OP says she already knows.

Your ring is gorgeous and exactly what I have been searching the Internet to find a pic of! I could find tons on cushions in that setting but no asschers- so glad I can finally see what it really looks like before I get mine. I had 2 questions for you though: how many carats if your asscher and in the setting white gold or platinum? I'm struggling with which metal to go with.

Thanks in advance:)

I really love your ring at bangooraor.
I wanted to ask how many carat is the center stone.
since you combined both halo setting and asscher cut, do you have to increase the size to make it look more bling bling since the asscher cuts puts more weight on the bottom?
lastly, i am based in LA, did you get it in LA? if yes where? my budget is 8,000-10,000 would this be enough to get something similar?

thanks alot

I love asschers! My stepmother's engagement ring is a 2.5 carat Asscher, and it throws off the most amazing flashes of colored light. Definitely view as many as you can in person. We looked at quite a few, and each seemed to have their own "personality" as far as light refraction goes. Some threw out rainbows while others exhibited mostly white flashes of light.

Love your ring :love: I simply adore pave' halos on an asscher diamond. I was looking an asscher originally, but it is so hard to to find the right one. Congrats!

totally have to agree with black jade, rounds have the largest table (like surface area on the top) whereas the asschers have much smaller since more weight comes from the bottom of the stone. in other words, a 3.0ct asscher looks decent sized whereas a 3.0ct round looks enormous.

i too love the asschers. to make your ring look bigger/more bling, i'd def recommend a halo setting.

So interesting! I had no idea that there was a somewhat formulaic correlation btwn carat and mm! Wish I had known that!! I have a 3 carat cushion but it doesn't really look 3cts, which always annoyed me since I love bling! My DH just thought he was picking a winner for me because it was 3 ct! Oh well, it's still gorgeous!

I'm bumping this because the asscher cut may be my new favorite stone. The way it looks like a mirror puts me into a trance.

Any updated pictures or information? I may consider one as a RHR with sapphires. I wouldn't replace my e-ring so I don't how much I would really want to invest.

More pictures please. I can't get enough of this stone!
