Calling Snooper...

[spike13]

Hi Snooper,
I''m getting ready to discuss my ring design with Leon. I really like how your sets look, but in all my searching I can''t find any pics (aside from your tiny avatar) of your erings and bands together.

If you have any straight on hand shots would you mind posting them? I''m trying to get a sense of what things look like when they don''t sit flush.

A million thanks in advance!!! All your rings are just gorgeous!

thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spike13 - I am not Snooper however here is a link to her gorgeous rings, https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/my-2-75-leon-mege-antique-cushion.87017/

Snooper - I hope you don''t mind.

 

[Snooper]

Don''t mind at all EMPTorres! Thanks for the link!

Here''s some pictures (avatar for example) and let me know Spike if you need any more

ETA: Off to find pics, give me a few minutes

My avatar:

It was the classic 3 stone setting, set low (not low as possible like my cushion solitaire). Size 7. I think the width is 1.8mm?

 

[Snooper]

Not sure if you have sides, but here''s a pic of my Princess w/ the .78 bags LM sourced.

 

[Snooper]

And to give you an idea of width, the 1st ring (L-R) is a plain Lucida 2mm band, ER, and then the diamond band which I''m thinking is 1.6mm

 

[Snooper]

Oops the pic

 

[Snooper]

I''d say the ER sits closer to the plain band (avatar pic)than my pics indicate as I had intentionally spaced the ER and the band further apart for the picture (Don''t remember why).

Let me know if you need more pics

 

[spike13]

Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! You made my day!

This is exactly the info I was looking for. The one with the measuring tape really helps.

I''m composing my email to Leon on the details now and I''ve got to tell you, I''m almost too excited to write it LOL.

 

[spike13]

The setting I''m considering is the same one basically except I have a 1.32 RB.

 

[Snooper]

Awesome! I''ll try to find more pics for ya. Feel free to send him my pictures too Exciting!! You''ll love it! I didn''t get an air space in my ring though. I did tell him I didn''t want it.

Like here''s his 3 stone ring, but WITH an air space:

You are so lucky Leons three stone with bagguettes is my favorite!!! I have never seen pics of one with a RB (well except for the 8ct one on his website) so please post pics when your ring is finished!!!!!

 

[spike13]

Wow thanks again Snooper.

I''m not sure what you mean by airspace? Can you describe it a bit to me?

See the link below from LM''s site:
http://www.artofplatinum.com/vault/partsdef_3st.htm

my princess doesn''t have that air space #5, but my cushion solitaire does. For my princess I didn''t want that (like H. Winston doesn''t do the airspace at least from his website)

 

[spike13]

Thanks Snooper!!

I sent off the email description today and will follow up with a call tomorrow. I couldn''t have done it without your help!

Thanks! It''s from LM as well and is a full eternity band style “201” with 46 stones 0.45 ct. I don''t know the width, nor does he as I wanted a pink band to match a couple months ago, and the info wasn''t on file. He suggested I send my white one back for an exact match which I''ll do later.

Here''s an idea how of thin it is when you compare it to a dime/penny. So if I use the US Mint''s mm for the coins, I''m guessing the band is about 1.3-1.4mm.

It''s very sturdy, and as I''ve mentioned before, probably as sturdy as the Ritani I once owned...

 

[Snooper]

I can''t attach a pic for some reason...

but I know there''s a thread where I posted the band side-by-side a dime and penny to show the width.

Spike, make sure you call him soon as he''s going out of town for a few weeks I''m told! Good luck!

Found the pic!
