My current engagement ring was set by Leon Mege 15 years ago and love everything about it. It’s a G SI1 1.76 ideal round center center stone with pear sides stones. It’s delicate and beautiful with double claw prongs.
My DH got me an upgrade of a 4.01 HVS1 emerald cut diamond for my 50th birthday and 25th wedding anniversary. I purchased it through Jonathan from Destinctive Gem Inc. because I have watched his educational videos for years and trust his reputation to get me the most beautiful emerald diamond within my specifications and budget…and he did!! I really wanted another hand forged setting done by Leon Mege, but he will not set a stone that he did not source. I am so upset and heartbroken.Unlike round, emerald cuts can’t be picked by numbers alone—you need to see them! This is why I decided to have Jonathan do the vetting for me.
I live in NJ and would like to get my diamond set in NY by someone that does exquisite work and will set an outside diamond. I have heard of Steven Kirsch. Does he take outside stones?
I have always wanted my upgrade to look like Eva Longoria’s engagement ring from Tony Parker—it’s my dream ring! However, I am afraid with my lifestyle that the pave on the shank is too delicate, so was hoping to do a 3 stone petite trapezoid or a 5 stone with trapezoids and bullets, but must have beautiful claw prongs.
I would love to hear any advice on who to go to!
