just_looking! Cut Rock Total Posts: 481 Last Post: 11/6/2009 Member Since: 7/25/2004	I don't know of anyone on Pricescope that has LM studs. Were you planning for him to source the stones for you as well as making the studs? I love LM (my e-ring is from Art of Platinum so I'm biased), but don't think that you will get the full LM impact unless the earrings are pave. Have you any pics of the earrings you were thinking of having made? The 3 prong martini settings have been done by others on here - Whiteflash are the most popular. Is it the claw prongs you are interested in? Mine are from Whiteflash and are slightly claw pronged, but I'm sure they could shape them to your wishes if you mention it! I have the heavy martini's (D's 0.38ct each), but the handmade ones are more delicate. If I ever upgrade these, I would probably go for the handmade settings, but D's with blue fluorescence don't come up often! Hope that helps? ============================= Don't worry darling, I'm only looking!!

biblobaggins23 Cut Rock Total Posts: 227 Last Post: 6/4/2007 Member Since: 11/25/2006	yeah, i just liked leon's work because he has something very similar to what katie has - those sapphire ones i liked. they don't list a price and i wanted to know how much he would charge for earrings approximately. would it be worth the money? if not and its too pricey, i'll stick with regular studs...

nocturnes Rough Rock Total Posts: 22 Last Post: 3/20/2007 Member Since: 5/5/2006	Hi, I'm a long term lurker. Leon made my martini studs with micropave jackets. His work is just impectable. Even though the price he charged was the highest among all the custom martini studs I quoted at the time, I have no complain at all after seeing his final product. Originally I wasn't able to decide between plain martini studs or studs with micropave halo. Then Leon gave me a wonderful suggestion of making the micropave halo as jackets. So now I have two pair of earrings instead of one. When I dress casually, I just wear the plain studs. When I want to dress up, adding the jackets instantly boost the bling effect big time. Besides, I get the idea of having more jackets in the future. The cost for plain martini studs was $1000, studs and jackets $3000. Here are the pictures of my G VS2 .59ct each Leon Mege studs and micropave jackets.

Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

nocturnes Rough Rock Total Posts: 22 Last Post: 3/20/2007 Member Since: 5/5/2006	Thanks a lot for all of your compliments. There is a BIG difference of visual effect when I put the jackets on. By the way, I truly hope the $1000 includes diamonds. However, it's just Leon's labor and platinum cost.

nocturnes Rough Rock Total Posts: 22 Last Post: 3/20/2007 Member Since: 5/5/2006	I think you can talk to Leon directly regarding your idea. Base on the cost of my martini studs and jackets, I'll estimate $1000 per pair of studs, plus $2000 for a pair of micropave jackets if you want to have jackets with exchangeable center. However, it also depends on how you want the jacket to be micropaved. My jacket was "Belgium set", with melee set on both top and side of halo; it's the most expensive type of setting according to Leon. The earrings in the picture you got from Leon's site only had micropave on the top of halo, so the cost should be less.

I've always wanted something of Leon's and doing studs with the jackets is a top contender for my wish list from him...I love, love, love them ----------------------------- A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

You don't need vvs1 stones that small ... that's "overkill" IMO. As long as the stones aren't cloudy or heavily included (i.e - lower than S12) you should be fine. Clarity is the most OVERRATED "c" when it comes to a) ROUND BRILLIANT stones ... and B) SMALL stones.

My diamonds are .75 each and I wouldn't want it to look gaudy to have a halo on them, but maybe it could work. I like the size of yours a lot nocturnes! ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~

nocturnes Rough Rock Total Posts: 22 Last Post: 3/20/2007 Member Since: 5/5/2006	I'm glad you gals love my earrings. Thank you thank you thank you!!!! Diamondseeker2006, as my center stones of .59ct each were very small in Leon's definition, Leon left airline between my center stone and jacket to make the center stone look much bigger. Without airline, the center stones won't have that much of enlargement effect.
