[dani13]

Gosh, diamondnut, I keep coming back to this thread....I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your set!!!!

 

[jellycat]

i have to agree with all the comments here.. you have a breathtaking set! leon really did a wonderful job on your rings. wear them with pride and don''t be afraid of them rubbing against one another. is there any stone on stone contact when you wear them together?

That was me up there. Speechless. For possibly the first time in my life!
Dear lord above, those rings have to be one of the most beautiful sights I have ever beheld!
Gorgeous rings, simply gorgeous.

More pictures please. Like a zillion! And as close up of the pave and the head as you possible can get, please oh please!

ring on my finger. is it my imagination or do diamonds look bigger when you wear it a little off-centered?

 

[diamondnut]

vespergirl, hopefully those profile pics are good enough. i tried my best.

jellycat, that's just my problem...i can't tell if there's any stone on stone contact or stone on metal contact for that matter. i think i need to get my hands on a loupe!

lynn b...are you speaking yet

. hope you enjoy these additional pics!!! and i just can't seem to get a good shot of the pave. the camera just won't focus properly! i shall keep trying though.

and last but not least, thank you all for your kind words!!! it's so awesome to be able to share the excitement with fellow diamondnuts!

now, i know this is going to sound ridiculous but how can i make my fingers appear longer and leaner? i'm a size 6 but the rings are a 6 1/4 because i don't want them to squeeze my fingers at all. after looking at the finger shots, i wish i had smaller daintier fingers. now how can i create that illusion. kinda like dressing to look 10 lbs lighter i guess!

Longer painted fingernails will have that effect. Same idea as high heels making the legs look longer! I just love your ring!

diamondnut, your rings are gorgeous!

I love the thin bands...they are so feminine and delicate yet the diamonds appear to sparkle like crazy! Congratulations!

 

[mrssalvo]

oh my goodness...love, love, love the new pics...your ring is just amazingly gorgeous!!1

 

[sugarplum]

beautiful rings! love that rock!

 

[Kim N]

What a stunning set! Your rings are simply gorgeous.

 

[sera]

Whoa that side view makes it look even more delicate! Leon''s work is really amazing.

 

[LegacyGirl]

WOW

 

[vespergirl]

THanks for the extra basket pics, diamondnut! I just think that your ring is incredible! Can''t stop looking at it!

 

[Anna0499]

Your ring is definitely one of my favorites on all of PSland!

It is just heavenly and 5 years isn''t very long to wait for an upgrade!

As a general question to all you Leon owners, how reasonable are his prices compared to the more designer lines, i.e. Ritani? (Not meant to threadjack - I would like your answer as well diamondnut!)

 

[Odilia]

WOW! Gorgeous, and I love the thin band!!! So dainty, and makes the diamond POP! Enjoy it!!

 

[Cachette]

Wow. Gorgeous, gorgeous stone and setting. Wow.

Congratulations!

You need to post this ring in "show me your super-thin bands" thread!!

Your rings are what I wanted when engaged, and always the stupid mall stores would tell me you can''t put such small diamonds next to a large (1.1ct!) diamond, etc. etc... Wish I''d known Pricescope back then!!!

 

[UCLABelle]

One of my new favs! Beautiful Leon Just YUMMY!

 

[lili]

Wow, it''s beautiful.
I love how delicate the bands are

Anna,

Funny you should ask about Ritani. I was actually considering the Ritani Endless Love setting since it''s similar in style to what I ended up having made. I find Leon''s prices very reasonable but of course it varies with the complexity of the project.

 

[diamondnut]

all your kind words are very much appreciated!!! I''m SOOOO glad i found PS. I would''ve never had known about Leon otherwise. The thin bands were inspired by Kate Beckingsale''s rings. I fell in love with them as soon as I saw them!

As for wearing the solitaire and band together...Leon didn''t exactly bless it. As some of you who''ve worked with him knows, he discourages wearing a band with the engagement ring. But I insisted on having the band made anyway. So if there''s any damage done by wearing them together, it''s kinda at my own risk. Thus my hesitation...
