Can you add more diamonds to a pave engagement ring??? Help!

[himni]

Hi everyone,

I have a question ( I hope I don't sound stupid either), I own a LM adrianna e-ring, when I got it I didn't think about making changes, or maybe I was nervous on asking or suggesting changes, since I was talking to him on phone and I didn't want to upset him ( weird huh?? I guess I read to many reviews on him lol)

Anyways my questions-

My e-rings pave is a bit over half of the band, can I add more diamonds and only leave a tiny space for future resizing? Or would it compromise the rings beauty?


My second question, does anyone think I could send it to another designer like VC (he is currently making me a wedding band) or ask LM?


Any help would be so appreciated

Yes - you can. I would ask Leon to do it but if you are afraid - you can go to Steven Kirsch. Steven's pave style is identical to Leon's.

Victor does great pave but his style looks different to me. He may be able to mimic it but I would think it isn't his style?

I would think it might be possible, but you definitely need to just call and ask Leon. And yes, I think you need to have him do it. I can't really imagine Victor wanting to work on a piece that someone else made.

Thank you for replying ladies....


I'm not gonna lie, I'm nervous about asking Leon, I called a few weeks ago to ask about resizing, spoke with Rachel and I still haven't gotten an email or phone call, it's sort of the reason I went to victor canera for a wedding band. Though I must say I love my e-ring, and during the "making" process Leon was very professional and nice on the phone.

I just don't want to insult someone by asking them to work on someone else's work...

Sometimes messages get lost inadvertantly, so I'd just call them back. That way they can size it before they add the pave. It is pretty important that only Leon works on it just in case there is ever a problem.

I will just say that I have done this before and there is zero difference between Steven and Leon's pave. Steven is pretty nice too that he will likely deal with any problems you may encounter.

You have nothing to lose by talking to Leon and asking him to rework your ring. My first choice would always be to have the original jewelry work on it.

I have a beautiful setting by Leon but after a few years there was an issue with the platinum. Leon fixed it no questions asked. It would not have been so had another jeweler worked on it.
