Hi! I posted this on the Jewelry Pieces board (https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/tiffany-novo-band-vs-leon.96528/) but I''m just going to summerize/partially copy and paste what I wrote, to hopefully get some more opinions, especially about the sparkle factor... I hope that is ok.
I want a thin diamond eternity band set in platinum and I have been planning all along to get the Tiffany Novo eternity band, but after seeing on this forum what beautiful work Leon Mege does, I decided to get a quote from him for a similar paved band. Leon''s price is $600-700 less than the price of Tiffany''s, and as much as I would love to say it''s from Tiffany''s (the girly-girl in me!) I think I would be just as happy with Leon''s ring, so the name for personal reasons really isn''t a deciding factor for me. I am very confident in Leon''s quality, I just don''t know if it''s wiser to have the big name of Tiffany''s behind the ring, so if the ring gets damaged or a stone gets lost it can easily be fixed. I plan on using this to replace my wedding ring. I''m not sure the likelihood of stone loss and how much of an issue that really is, but the fact that it will be worn every day will increase the chances I''m sure.
Leon can make a ring practically identical to the novo, but a big question for me right now is the difference in diamonds. The Novo really does sparkle beautifully, when it hits the light the ring practically glows.. I''ve never seen a paved Leon ring in person, does anyone know the quality of diamonds that Leon uses? Does anyone know if they perform just as well?? I guess that would be the biggest deciding factor, because if they''re just as good, I''d rather save money! but I definitely want that sparkle!!
Thanks so much for the help!
