There's no price premium before the holidays, so nothing to worry about there. Here's what I would recommend: http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/G-VS1-Ideal-Cut-Asscher-Diamond-1336824.asp http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/G-VS1-Ideal-Cut-Asscher-Diamond-1397244.aspI like the 0.90ct stone.

I'm looking for an Asscher cut, G or better, VS2 or better, table/depth under 68% (as per your recommendations), at least 1 carat (will be satisfied with .95). The most I'm really willing to spend is about $5k (US). I don't necessarily want to use up that whole budget though, if you know what I mean. If there is something that you think will look great that meets my minimum specs for $4200 that would be fantastic but maybe you'll find something bigger closer to the $5k area. Excited to see what you come up with.Also, do you think the next couple of weeks might be a bad time to buy? I'm afraid that the Valentine's Day engagement thing might have an effect on diamond prices. Could I potentially get more for my money if I wait a month or so?Thanks for your time, Scott Hi,

This stone is gorgeous(very bright and sparkly), but I would like it to look bigger. However, I am not sure it will make much difference and this stone is quite beautiful and it seems to be a good price at $52,000.Thanks for your feedback.Carolyn Hi,

I am looking at a 3.12 Asscher with the following specs:
F
Vs2
Depth 69
Table 60
Would it be noticeable to the eye to have a larger table? This stone is gorgeous(very bright and sparkly), but I would like it to look bigger.
However, I am not sure it will make much difference and this stone is quite beautiful and it seems to be a good price at $52,000.

Thanks for your feedback.

Carolyn

I have a question that is a little different from some of the others but am hoping you could help. My now-Husband proposed with a Radiant solitaire for my engagement ring 2 years ago, but it is almost square. I love rectangular stones, especially emerald, but saw that Radiant also came in rectangular so that is more what I was expecting. I feel horrible bringing this up to him but I have because we are honest. I love the radiant....but was wondering if it is possible to change the setting on a platinum ring to accomodate for a more rectangular stone? Or, I love the look of Asscher and Emerald so much that I would even love one of those in my 'almost squre' setting. But the chances of finding a stone from our jeweler with the same length/ width is probably hard to come by. Do any jewelers exchange stones/ willing to change settings? I'm sure anything is possible for a price. Just wanted to get some ideas.. Thank you for any help you can provide.. Hello!

Also a great looking stone, if you like the octagonal look. If you like the look, then definitely have them pull it to check the fluorescence. Hi Colette.

You guys are great!I just found one other that I am attracted to, I think because it looks a little different to me than the majority of asscher's on their site in my budget -- Maybe because it is more octagonal? But is has strong fluoresence, and is a little over budget.Would you take a look at it and tell me if you think it is worth having them pull it to check the fluorescence or if I am better off pursuing the 1st choice?http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/G-VVS2-Ideal-Cut-Asscher-Diamond-1254245.aspThank you!
