sorry i dont know the exact specs... my darling has yet to show me the paperwork... (he was hiding my ring at his mom''s, so the paperwork is still there...)

the center stone is an heirloom cushion cut, about 1.1 cts, and the setting is about 1.7 cts, so total it is just under 3... i have big hands, (though they are not as manly as they look in those pictures!!)... ring size 6.5.

Please get some up close detail pics of that beauty!

Congratulations and wear it in good health always. Also what a treasure to have an Heirloom stone from the family, I just adore that aspect of it.

It is really nice. The best part is that if it had not been an heirloom given to us, I would have totally chosen a bigger stone and gone with a super simple setting. But because it wasn''t "my" diamond i wanted to make the setting "my own", which led us on a wonderful journey to many jewelers and several ideas... until, at long last, we met leon. we were so impressed with everything about working with him, from his demeanor to his amazing craftsmanship... it made it a truly memorable experience!!

HSB, so when you started to work with LM, how did you decide on the design for the ring? Was the process simple? How long did it take to get the ring? Are you a NYC resident or was this project done long distance? (I''m asking ''cuz I am really hoping to work with him for a RHR some day

)

Beautiful, beautiful E-ring! Will you get a wedding band to match?

ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR!!!!!! This will certainly go in my coded secret folder- ha!

happysnowbunny- could you put a little description on the halo work? Did you go with 1 pointers around the halo, band and ''arms''? Or is it smaller and does Leon consider that micropave work around the halo? THanks, sjr

Honestly, it was the easiest thing ever. But I went there knowing what I wanted. I had looked on many websites, tried on many rings, and discussed options with several other jewelrs. I had also been surfing pricescope for a while... and Reena (if any of you remember her!) was of great help and inspiration to me! I saw one of his rings on his website (The emerald one... I will attach a pic) and fell in love with it. I made some minor changes, worked with his input, and created what I wanted. To be honest, even Leon said he was impressed and that it showed that I had done my homework! I do think, however, that he is laid back enough to work with someone who does not know precisely what you want... he can show you pictures, he has a few physical examples in his office, and he is really really nice! I am in NYC, yes, so that part was very easy. As for timing, he took about 2 months, and the eventual price was more than he quoted. My BF said, however, that even though it was more than he " wanted to spend".. it was worth every penny. PM me if you have any other questions!!

it''s stunning!! more pictures..and is that an oval stone? is there a story behind it?

it looks absolutely huge on your hand. love the thought of the heirloom in a custom ring, ESP since you can spend more on the setting if it''s an inherited rock...
