Oh my!! That is one exquisite ring! The color of your sapphire is beautiful! Your ring is just perfect. If Leon picked out the side stones, he did a wonderful job on the proportions. The combo of an oval and traps is one you don't see often but so pretty tpgether. I love the prongs, too. Lucky you!
Oh goodness! I am sorry I wasn''t around last night to thank you all. I have lots going on at home right now and don''t seem to have time to sneeze! Thank you all so much for your lovely compliments. I am really over the moon with it. It worked out so well.
Someone asked me what it was like to work with Leon: I have to say it was overall a good experience. He was extremely nice to me when some problems cropped up. He couldn''t have been sweeter and he made me feel a lot better through a difficult situation. My only complaint is that I didn''t get any pictures when I asked for them twice but that was the only difficulty I had. I wouldn''t hesitate to recommend him to others and I will definitely be back for more.
Ronda: have you decided how to set yours yet? I am itching to know!
katebar: I bought the sapphire from simplysapphires.com and then Leon found the traps - which were very reasonable. I was surprised by that. I was dreading how expensive they would be if he sourced them. I was very pleasantly surprised!
swingirl: the center is actually a cushion - I love those soft rectangular shapes! Part of me wanted half moons but I am real pleased with the traps. Like you say, it''s not so common a combination.
Again, everyone thank you for every lovely word you''ve left here. You''ve made a very busy mum smile a lot!
