Lovely!  It looks gorgeous on your hand!!!  Congrats

Thanks for all your kind words 

I love J color now. Actually I can love any color if it sparkle like this.

Thanks for you compliment T. Actually after I saw the pictures I post, I ran to the bathroom and immediately put lotion on my hand  .
It is so true that this ring will be notices from across the room.

Beautiful!!!  The shank on your new ring is my favorite style, and the pendant is just lovely!  Thanks for sharing!!

The ring looks fantastic on you, Namtan!  I would never imagine that it's a J from looking at the photos.  I really like the proportions of the ring.


I also really like your butterfly pendant.  It seems like something you could happily wear every day, and that is a huge plus in my book!  Beautiful!

I love your new ring.  I know you must be thrilled. 

That necklace is awesome...Now I think you NEED one with those pears. 

Oh Namtan, I'm sorry for being late to the party, but I did see this a few days ago.  Stunning.  Stunning.  It's incredible - and considering the price of the centre stone it's a lot of sparkle on your hand.  Do you have a small finger size? (I'm trying to guess what a 3/4 stone would look like on my fingers, which are not as elegant as yours by half).

I've looked at this many many time in the last few days - you must be thrilled, it truly is a work of art.  Stunning.  I think I said that already, but it's got that wow factor. 

And I love the butterfly pendant - I think you need (need mind, not want) the yellow pears for another pendant.  I don't think it would look to crazy wearing them both - how could you choose between them, after all!

Hi all 

I just got back the asscher ring yesterday after I had it resize with local jeweler.
Now it fit perfectly but I think the ring look a bit asymmetry from the side view. Not much but enough to bother me.

This thing happen to you guys when you resize the ring? Last time I resize my ER at this jeweler they did execlent job.

I call them and they said will fix it for me but I don't want them to do it again. Afraid they will make it worst

David, could you please fix it for me if I had a chance to send it to you some day.

 

Wow! How did I miss these updates?? Namtan, that is one fabulous Asscher ring you got! I thought it looks great in the blown up photos but on your finger, it looks even more spectacular!

But what exactly went wrong with the resizing?

Thanks T, that exactly what I thing.

David, you are the best. But I'm not ready to part with the  yet. Just good to hear that you will be able to fix this  whenever I'm ready. Probably at the time I want a new  bling bling piece from you.

DiamondHunter, Congratulations on your engagement!
"SO ME" is the best respond one can get.
I know that you're thinking about resizing your ring too.

What went wrong with my ring is exactly what David said it leaving the ring out of round.
It seems like they cut it at the bottom and push one side of the ring to make it smaller. So one side of the ring is still round but the other is not as round.  Difficult to explain. Hope you get the idea.
I had it resized  at only about .25 size. I think the main problem is that local jeweler here, in Thailand, is not use to the shape of the ring like this. The shank of my ring is thicker and the shape from the side is different than most of the ring made here.

So I think you should pick the jeweler who use to work on the similar model with your ring if you decide to resized it locally. But if you want the safer option you'd better ship it to David.   

Sorry to hear that the re-sizing work wasn't so great. I hope you can have David fix it, but I understand the hassle with international shipping.

I'm maybe a little paranoid here, but if it's out of round, you might just want to double check that the stones are still secure. Little tip I learned from Diamond Junkie - tap the base of the ring firmly (but gently) on a table or counter and listen to see if there is any rattle from a loose stone. I'm sure it's fine, but you might just want to check. I had this problem with a ring after it was sized and not quite round.

Oh, and I love the idea of a yellow butterfly with these gorgeous pears. That would be beautiful with or without your white butterfly (which is also beautiful, btw).

Jen

Thanks all for your concern.
Jen, I did what you told. The stones are perfectly secure 

The reason I won't send the ring to David because beside the hassle with international shipping, I not sure about taxing issue.
If I read the info right, importing a diamond ring will be taxed at 60% of the price!!!!!!!!.
 That is why I can buy a ring form DBL only when I have someone in the US to carry it back for me. 

Mikla, I read your story. It was scary. That is exactly why I won't have it fixed at the local jeweler even they told me on the phone that they will fix it for me. Because the asymmetrical thing that I saw is minimal , I afraid they won't even see what went wrong.

   

That is horrid!  I had no idea you had to overcome barriers like this.
