Diamond Solitaire Ring

does anyone have an asscher cut diamond and get frustrated that people think it's merely a princess cut?

My diamond is special and for people to think I have a plain jane common ol' princess cut is frustrating to me. They say "Oh, what a pretty princess cut" and then I feel like a dumbhead when I have to explain to them what an asscher cut is. I've been married for a year. This is not my priority in life but I think that when someone has something nice that it is rude for others to insult it. The question was did this happen to anyone else not, "how do I deal with it when these people say this" How is asking a simple question about people's ignorance bragging? This is a real frustration that I have and I'm trying to see if anyone has this same frustration. And why should I feel bad that I have nice things? why are you people being so rude and just out and out hateful? And for the ignorant person who stated that the stone is what determines value-you are somewhat mistaken. Many things, including cut, clarity, carat size, and color determine the value of a stone. I hope no one is ever as hateful to you as you people have been to me. vvsi,2.86, F and bubbles is mistaken. I've voted for 2 of her answers as best answers today and I said nothing nasty to her. We were talking about the flylady system and she said she was too busy for it and I pointed out that weekends would be better if not spent on cleaning. I didn't mean anything by it.

1. This has to be the all time most shallow question I have ever seen in any category in Yahoo! Answers. Amazing.
2. I find it hard to believe that people would notice or care.
3. I can see what your priorities in life are... And I'm glad to say that I've never gotten frustrated about something so meaningless.
4. If someone tries to pay you a compliment, accept it graciously. Then engage in a discussion not a lecture. And realize that these are people trying to communicate with you in a most pleasant and kind fashion. They are showing interest. That in itself is a compliment.
5. You sound very materialistic to me. Who CARES what the cut is! If you value a stone because you want people to know how valuable it is, you are way too into THINGS!
6. In the big scheme of life with all of the worlds problems, who cares. Give me a break. Find something more meaningful to do with your life. No one cares what kind of cut you have on your diamond. It is probably a conflict diamond to begin with.
7. its a diamond....who cares! I happen to be a huge fan of the asscher cut and know the difference...but most people DON'T CARE!! If it is special...it is only special to YOU not to everyone who crosses its path. A diamond is a diamond no matter the shape. It isn't any more valuable than a princess cut. I can't believe you even care!! How I would deal with it if someone did it to me, is say nothing. Just say thank you...you know what it is....so just let it go....like I said before....NO ONE ELSE CARES WHAT CUT THE GODDAMN RING IS!
8. If this is the worst problem you have in your life, consider yourself blessed. For Christ sake, worry about something that is important for a change. You are being a crybaby! Princess cut, Assher cut, at least you HAVE a frickin diamond. Get a real life you spoiled witch!
9. Yes.. Doesn't bother me at all..
10. OKAY WHO CARES BE GLAD THEY NOTICED IT CUZ U SOUND SO SHALLOW, MAYBE IF U LOOSE IT THAT WILL HELP U GET OVER IT!!AND U WONT BE SO OFFENDED ANYMORE!!!!
11. Some folks...like myself don't care. Many folks find it a symbol of your loving relationship not some status symbol that someone like you finds important. OK MISS THANG try and listen this time. No one has that problem because most are not so materialistic as to care about something so trivial. Just take a compliments as it was intended and say thank you...graciously and move on. THAT...is the answer to your question. (Some people you just can't reach)
12. Umm...You say, "Thank you, it is pretty isn't it. My husband picked it out, he has great taste in jewelry." You don't have to explain anything to them. If people mistaking asscher for princess cut insults you then you have never been properly insulted.
13. That you get upset about such a matter indicates a level of selfishness which is SO unbecoming. As for your cut who else cares. You are using this trinket as a sign of your status. People who really know jewelry recognize its value the others really do not care. Should someone compliment you on a lovely stone you are very rude to take it as an affront because they do not understand it properly.
14. who cares? this is so shallow....the damn thing is probably so small that people can't tell the difference.
15. Unfortunately, asschers just don't have the brilliance, scintillation and light dispersion characteristics as a round brilliant cut. When a person thinks of engagement rings, they think of princess or round brilliant cut diamonds. Asschers are typically purchased after marriage and are worn in addition to the engagement ring. Round brilliants and to a lesser degree princess cuts just have the fire and BLING BLING that people want in an engagement diamond. I'm sure you have a rare and beautiful asscher. An asscher cut is more of a refined and acquired taste in a diamond. When I think of an asscher, I think of a well to do woman in an evening gown at a social event, such as a cocktail party of new years eve gala. I'm curious...what color, clarity and carat is your asscher?
16. LOL- I love it. Your such a spoiled brat and you think your soo much better then everyone else. People are being mean to you?? Maybe you should go back and read some of your own nasty comments you wrote to people including me. Your a shallow jerk and just because you go to church does NOT make you a better person. Maybe you should get off the internet and go clean your house. I do infact have an odd cut diamond and people always mistake it for something else- I NEVER correct them, it's not important and they were only being kind in the first place. WHO CARES!
