Help - Leon Mege, Michael B or Custom

[chicity]

Hi Ladies,

I''m new to the forum and would really like some help on choosing a setting. We''ve decided on a 2.64 round Hearts & Arrows diamond. After looking at all the beautiful settings on this site and doing some research, I''ve decided that I really like Leon Mege''s and Michael B''s work. I don''t know about settings to decipher the differences but these are the settings that I really like. Help me choose?

Finally, last one, this is a custom setting I found

another view of the custom ring, except that I would do a plain head, without all the pave diamonds...


So what do you think?

here''s a bigger pic of the LM (from pic 1)

I definitely vote for Leon''s version....I have never liked the heads on the Michael B setttings- his prongs are too large/bulky for me, and the stone is set too high imo, but that''s just personal preference. Its a shame though, b/c I adore his pave work. I feel that for this type of setting, Leon will do the best job.

I personally LOOOVE diamondnut''s set: (made by Leon, of course)!!!

Dani,

Thanks, those were the same concerns I had about the Michael B setting. OMG, I love that LM setting. I am in love! Do you happen to know if that''s the same style as I posted?

Thanks so much!
