Wow Michi!  What an amazing ring you have!  It must be fun to have something so beautiful to gaze into every day... 

Thanks everyone - you're too kind!!  I am enjoying my new ring.

DJ - It guess it sort of looks like a Cartier style ring, but a bad imitation. 
The ring looks okay from the top view,  but it's just not made very well.  The millegrain looks like it was done with a machine instead of by hand and the basket is too chunky with metal.  You guys know - you really get spoiled by handmade custom jewelry and it's hard to go back.  Even though I don't have my first piece from David yet, I can tell by the pictures that his artisans are meticulous.

Snooper - I am seriously thinking of baguettes - short, fat ones.  I scanned what I was doodling on tonight and once I get home, I'll  resize it and then upload it and you guys can tell me what you think.

Bring it on Michi!  Can't wait to see!

I think a tiny diamond flower would be to die for!! But I was thinking maybe for the flower and/or pave, put engraving instead? I always think of an asscher being very Art Deco you know???

Thanks for the feedback Snooper and DJ!  My original ER is completely hand-engraved, so I was trying for a completely different look with this one.  I'll doodle some more and see what I come up with. 

Thanks Michi!

I love your ring and your sketch. There is actually a ring that many of us LOVE here from Leon Mege with an asscher center and shield sides. Maybe you can incorporate your other ideas to it. Love the flower! Nice touch.

NOooooooo!  Back to, we want to see the band you're talking about!!!

Very true DJ - You can't get anything past Snooper 

Girl, you don't miss a beat, do you?!!!!   

I'll try to photograph it this weekend and post it.  You'll see how this doesn't work with a more squared off band like the picture Tea was kind enough to post.  This brings me to something I've been meaning to ask you guys.  Since I'm new to this board, I don't know all of the etiquette you practice here.  David is kind enough to sponsor this board and I am very sensitive about posting jewelry I've had made by others and I even hesitated about posting my asscher.   I do not wish in any way to be disrespectful to him since this is his board.  Your thoughts? 

Hey Michi -

Please, post away!  We're very happy to have you here, and we would love to see your collection. 

There really isn't an official policy at this point, but if there becomes one, we'll be sure to let folks know. 

I sure am glad we got to see that beautiful asscher of yours!

Hi Michi!

I'm late chiming in, but welcome and I am following the resetting of that unbelievably spectacular asscher!!  I am an asscher addict.  Totally.

I'm so glad you found us!  I would have hated to miss this project.  And then the asscher earrings...I REALLY want to see those too!
