I love BGD and they do fabulous work, but if delicate claw prongs are a priority for you then I''d go with Leon. I have rings by both (not diamond solitaires) and there''s no comparison in the claw prongs... Leon''s the clear winner there.

Jenlev I have never heard of Leon trying to push someone to set their diamond in a different manner. Where problems arise is when a customer wants to change and existing pieve or do a custom piece and have a *lot* of input over how it turns out. If you want an exact replica of one of his simple solitaires, then I don''t think there will be a problem. But know, he will set the stone as low as possible and there may be slight differences between the pictured ring and your finished ring and tough cookies to you if you care. You just need to trust him 100%.

Yes I do love it exactly how he has it set... I really wouldn''t want any changes done. The things I''ve read from other PS members is they''ve sent the diamonds to him and he''s made comments about diamond size (being small) and because of size suggesting side stones or suggesting different prongs (not claw prongs). I feel like I should just go with my gut and use him because I feel like if I go with BGD I will constantly be comparing itwhich isn''t fair.![]()

I have to say I have claw prongs from BGD and they are PERFECTION. I love how dainty, thin and itty bitty they are..they just claw onto my stone!![]()
