Hello everyone! This is my first post here, although i have been lurking here for quite a bit now. It's been very helpful reading everyone's posts and reading up on some of the knowledge sections, I feel like I can really make an informed purchase and get the most for my money. My girlfriend and I have been going to the brick and mortar stores and looking at different rings for her. She has come to like A RB diamond in a halo setting and that's my taste also. The rings that we have been looking at with about a .70 diamond included have been around 4-5k in price but to me they don't really stand out and are flat with very little sparkle. The only rings that I have seen that had some pop were at the Hearts On Fire store but it was around 11k for the same size stone with a better cut and feel like they are a bit over priced. Since her and I don't make a ton of money, she is under the impression that my max budget is around 5k. But i have been working as much as i can and can afford around 13-15k. I really want to get the best for my money and something that is going to possible make her faint when she see's it.
I have seen some of Leon's pieces on here and really respect his craftsmanship. I am going to make an appointment to see some of his work in real life. I live about an hour away from NYC, so its not to hard to make a trip there. I wanted to hear from anyone that has used him and his diamond concierge. I am looking for something like his 811 with a RB with 1.3 - 1.7 carats. She has a small finger about a 4-4.25 and she doesn't like a thick band, this is why i'm leaning towards leon or is there anywhere else i could look. Im just looking for input on what you guys think and how to go about this. Sorry if this post is a jumbled mess but i wanted to give as much info i as i could to you guys. Thanks everyone!
