Wow!!  I like that David!  Please give us the stats on the center stone so we can envision the coverage!

Well, this one isn't going to fly, we are going to keep looking... not to say that it isn't beautiful.  It's a 1.13ct E/Vs2 with .53ct tw shield side stones

Ooo I love both of those!!!

Can I ask what kind of look your client is going for with the design of their Asscher ring?

Now this one I could get use to looking at

It's a very nice asscher! If it was mine, I'd go for a baguette halo.

If I was forced to pick sidestones, I'd go for more asschers, I think. It's such a unique cut, and it already has plenty going on, with these steps and windmills, so I probably wouldn't want anything to compete with it.

If I was forced to pick different sidestones, I'd go for step cut trills. Or even yellow step cut trills, if they really want unusual. I'd also like double claws on the asscher.

All just personal preference - whatever you do with a stone that lovely is going to look just yummy! (with the possible exception of the horsehead pair. I fear that wouldn't work...)

I like the idea of an all asscher 3 stone with the sides turned 90 degrees

You know I am loving DBL's bezels right now

The only thing that concerns me about this, is whether you could get the side hearts close enough to the center to make it look right, given that the sides of the center heart taper in so much toward the point.  Did that make any sense?

I love both of these!!!  I think the side stones on the heart will be close enough...they sort of act like fat pears on the sides.

OK...if it is MY boyfriend tell him it HAS to fly.  I like that.

An interesting concept, but I'm kind of liking them better the other way.  What does everyone else think?

Well, when the points face into the centre stone, the heart shapes are more apparent. When I first saw them laid out, I thought it was a heart with round yellow sidestones for a moment.

The little yellow hearts are really pretty.
