Well, all in all, I'd say this ring is a winner. I do want to add that I didn't expect this to be as LARGE as it really is! If you like LARGE rings, with lots of glitz and glam, this one's for you. I misread the description by looking at too many items in too many windows at a time! As for me, I'll stick to my 1-3 carat items, but if you like to GO LARGE, this one's for you... Am I keeping it? YOU BET! Asscher cuts are hard enough to find, and a large one is even harder. Retro, the way to go!
