Hi all,
First time poster, long time lurker. Just wanted to say that I found this site really useful in my search for the perfect ring for my lady, so thanks everyone for your thoughts and pictures!
After much research and trying to figure out what she likes, I came up with this ring:
Center stone:
1.05 carat square cushion h&a from Good Old Gold
F color
VVS1 clarity
Side stones:
pear cut, .58 tcw, F color, VS2/SI1 (sourced by Leon)
Ring:
platinum, 5.5 ring size, Leon Mege
I had no problems with my experience with GOG, and would recommend them to anyone. Then again, I wasn''t that demanding of a customer (me: "I want that diamond, here''s my money." them: "No problem. Shipped."), but I''m sure they''d do great with anyone. At first I was a little hesitant to buy over the internet/phone since I live in CA, but reading people''s reports here and elsewhere made me feel more comfortable.
After I got the center diamond, I looked at a bazillion settings to figure out what she would like, and again, this site helped me find Leon Mege. I saw this ring ( http://www.artofplatinum.com/R011.htm ), and knew that was it. So, I contacted Leon through email and got a response the next day which basically said, "give me a call".
To make a long story short, I shipped my diamond to him after New Years and got the finished ring early last week. He sourced the pear side stones for me, which probably wasn''t the cheapest I could''ve gotten but was definitely comparable to a lot of other places. I was kind of worried near the end because I didn''t have time to have him take a picture of the ring so that I could approve it or make changes, so I just had to trust his judgement. Luckily for me, it turned out great, and there were no issues to work out. It probalby helped that I just wanted a ring that he had lots of practice with. Cost wise, I would say that the ring and side stones cost about the same as a similar Vatche (if not cheaper?).
Anyways, I would definitely recommend both GOG and Leon Mege.
