Re: My Steven Kirsch Creation

Trying to pick a wedding band. Won't always be worn next to the engagement ring, but for special occasions, it probably will. Trying to decide between 3 sided micro pave and twisted! Input please!

Re: Wedding band designers in NYC?

Steven Kirsch made ours. Great experience. http://www.timelessluxury.net/

There are also many others, whom other members here have much experience in NYC. Leon Mege is also a popular name around here for NYC designers.

Re: GIA clarity wrong!!! Do I have any recourse?

wouldn't the GIA report trump any other appraisal? I could be wrong, but I think the certification is the final word when it comes to determining value.

Re: Help me find a diamond, budget around 35k for 2.5 carat

Yes, the 2.52 is the one with the indented natural but it's on the pavillion, and poses no issues. It also faces up the largest, 8.85 x 8.89. I am actually a fan of fluorescence and the extra price discount is a bonus. As for the virtual stone on Bluenile, I can get it for about $39600, as Bluenile...

1.36 RB should I do it?

30 return policy. Upon receiving it i'll check for over blues flouro...other wise, what do you think of this stone? It scores well on hca (.9 tic) ...gia, any red flags other than the flouro? It's to be set in an engagement ring. Your thoughts are appreciated!

Re: Who makes the best 3 sided pave wedding band???

I would say that SK, Leon, and Victor C are all masters of micropave. I am not sure we've seen that style band from any of them (except maybe Leon in the past), so you might want to ask them all for photos. I am glad she is not wearing the rings on the same hand, but you do need to know that microp...

Re: Who makes the best 3 sided pave wedding band???

I would have SK make it assuming you are happy with your e-ring. However, I would not do 3 sided pave if you plan on wearing it with your e-ring. You'll have diamonds scratching the surfaces they touch, and you'd almost have to wear a spacer band if you did go with 3 sided pave. She's planning on w...

Hi All, I'm looking for a 3 sided micro pave wedding band. My engagement ring was made by Steven Kirsch, so that would be the natural selection for the band, however, I'm looking for your thoughts on the master of this style? SK, LM, WF, BGD, VC??

Re: Cushion Halo Setting - Leon Mege or Steve Kirsch?

Here's a vote for Steven Kirsch. He just finished my ring, and I was blown away with his service, his quality, and the entire process in general. I couldn't recommend him more.

I haven't dealt w LM, but SK was outstanding from start to finish.

Hope this helps.
