I know in the end it's what I like best but it'll help to hear some opinions. Which one do you like more and why?? Thank you!!! Here's the Leon:

diamondnut Cut Rock Total Posts: 182 Last Post: 10/27/2009 Member Since: 1/25/2008	Thanks for your input! I'm leaning towards the Damiani too which I've actually seen in person. But the Leon one always catches my attention when I'm perusing his website. Keep your opinions coming!

Plus it's half eternity so there's less breakage likely. I agree. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. 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."

I know in the end it's what I like best but it'll help to hear some opinions. Which one do you like more and why?? Thank you!!! Here's the Leon: I love this ring (tried it on a few weeks ago), and it sparkles like mad. But it's super thin, I think maybe 2mm, maybe even a tad thinner. If you're going for a substantial stand-alone, I'd go w/ the Diamani. If you want delicate blingage, go with the Leon. Are you up for another custom piece? Maybe Leon could make it bigger.

That said, I have a pension for Daimani...... cheers--Sharon "People who possess great qualities, do not need to show off".

If you go and click BUY IT NOW on his site, all of the specs come up.. width, carat weight, etc. The width of that band is 2.2 mm and I think it would love LOVERLEY with your Leon set and potential BEV K !!!! Sooooooo, I vote LEON !

Cachette Ideal Rock Total Posts: 702 Last Post: 11/13/2009 Member Since: 12/6/2006	I vote for the Leon. But it depends on the size and length of your finger. You should try on some different widths jsut to give you an idea of what suits you best. Also, it may be a question of what they cost and your budget. They are both beautiful but the Leon is my favorite of the two. Cachette

CrookedRock Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,738 Last Post: 6/8/2009 Member Since: 5/8/2007	We all know I am a Leon fan.. but I have to go with the Damiani on this one. It's much more substantial which is what a rhr should be if it's going to be a band... imho! They are both gorgeous but the Damiani catches my eye more... Both beautiful choices though! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

diamondseeker2006 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 17,609 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 1/11/2006	I like the Leon ring better, but not really as a RHR. It looks like a wedding band to me, so if I bought one, I'd wear it as an alternate wedding band. As far as the Damaini goes, I think I have seen bands I like better than that. ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~

JulieN Ideal Rock Total Posts: 7,148 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 7/25/2005	I like the Leon. I think if I were a 5+ ring size, Damiani. If I were a <=4, Leon. In between, I'd probably have to try them on.
