I have three photos from Leon to tide you over while I scour the house for the camera cable!!! BF - no, FI  - locked it in the filing cabinet before we left. You may all give him a stern talking to if you like

The ring is Leon Megé's 'classic solitaire' with the doughnut under the diamond reduced in size to allow a wedding band to sit flush. Leon was great to work with, and the ring was finished ahead of schedule. His prices are surprisingly reasonable - the solitaire didn't cost much more than the Vatché we were looking at, and the wedding band was less than the comparable WF platinum band! Thank you Leon!

The stone is an AGS000 1.37ct E VS2 Crafted by Infinity diamond, purchased from Wink (Winfield's). It is out of this world beautiful, thank you so much Wink and Infinity!!! Full specs are here: retsled's thread

Here goes...

Oh so gorgeous! I love the simplicity and modern lines of your e-ring and band. Definitely my all-time favorite setting. The first time I saw his classic solitaire, I knew that was IT for me

Congratulations on your engagement!

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

That's an interesting way for Leon to photograph the ring with the band. Can't wait to see some handshots of that beauty, and hear the significance of that pretty little hidden stone in your e-ring. Congrats again, my lovely, and to you too, retsled! So I'm curious, what day number was it on the countdown when you actually proposed? 106? Or did I lose count?

Very nice!  I especially like how he designed the setting to sit flush with a wedding band.

Question for you.  Which "classic" setting does this correspond to on Leon's website?  He has a few of them and I cannot pick out which one it is.  I am guessing that it is a modified version of r572, but I could be wrong.
