the 1.13 asscher in the pink halo on the dbl website is what drew me in here...then i saw robins gorgeous asscher that i found out was inspired by the very same ring!  the last few days i have found myself reading and looking around as much as possible!  robin suggested to me the 1.06 asscher that is listed in the under 3k thread and i was wondering what your opinions on it were.  the stats sound pretty good to me but i did notice the mentioning that the corners arent quite so asschery.  (is that even a word? lol) im going to request a video of the stone and possibly a face to face meeting with it since i live right on LI.  im pretty sure i want the pink halo setting with bezel but minus the miligrain.  if i would have seen this before i got my er ring, this would have been it! but of course, it will do nicely for a rhr! i know there are a lot of asscher and pink halo fans out here so i wanted your opinions!  thanks a lot!

Here's a pic of the diamond Sanchica.

I personally love this one.  Square step cuts do it for me and even the smaller corners don't detract from it.  Very, very nice! 

Great point Snooper.  I'll make sure David sees this thread.

I think it is Stunning.... Asscher's are not very big for there weight...but this is a nice size for a 1.06.   The L color will probably not bother you in the least since it is a step cut!    Requesting a movie of the stone is definately a must..............I have a feeling after seeing the movie and at the above price, this baby will be YOURS!!!   PINK HALO ..........YUMMY!~Ronda

thank you all for your assurance and your 2¢! i will def be making a decision as soon as a see some more pics and the video!

i might only be able to buy the stone for now but i will def be having it set in that pink halo eventually!

thats a great idea! i was just looking at the page for a simple band until i can get the halo, im thinking the lucida!

I would definitely look at another for comparison.  I would rather have a choice, you know?  I would prefer slightly larger corners, but I wouldn't rule this one out...just would want to compare...

sometimes it needs to be step by step, all is well though. ill get to enjoy the process and appreciate it even more when its complete!

I LOVE that asscher... actually I found my way here via eBay ... an asscher and a cushion less than 6 weeks ago!    I now have a 3 stone EC ring and a cushion in "the works!" 

Sanchica - I bought an asscher from David last month (when I was in a particularly weenie, weak state of self-control).  For comparison, my stats are pretty similar to the 1.06, except mine had strong blue fluorescence and strong corners:

Here's a couple of pictures of it (it's in the sold section) on DBL.  I just got it last week and it's terrific!

yes! i read through that whole thread and i saw how quick you grabbed that one up! i cant blame you its such a beauty! i did the comparisons from that thread and even if im not completely happy with this one (which i doubt will happen) i know i can always upgrade it later!

The radiant center stone in my PL ring (the one in my avatar) does not have particularly strong corners, but the bezel set made it seem much more dramatic, so that's something you may want to consider if you're going to eventually put a halo around it.  I think this stone is a deal and it's really gorgeous.

Yes, I did act quickly and and very impetuously (not normal for me).  Like I said, I was in a weenie, weak state of mind, lol.

i def intend on putting it in a bezel when i do the halo, i like that it looks so smooth all the way around and that the profile is so snug! itll probably be almost another year until its all the way done, maybe the FH will finance the halo setting as a wedding present....i have to start planting that idea in his head,lol!
