[kcoursolle]

[NewEnglandLady]

I saw this yesterday and almost posted it!! Not just because it''s such a great deal, but because it''s so cryptic! What is he talking about?!

[iluvcarats]

Well, now that that''s figured out, what''s up with the birthday gift? LOL

 

[kcoursolle]

I think you gals are probably right...Harry Winston sounds about right. What on earth would someone get the man for his bday?

Yes he did mention it once in talking that he made rings for HW. Wasn''t sure if I heard it right, but I think you''re right ponderer.

 

[LaurenThePartier]

WOW! I REALLY wish I knew someone who had $11k lying around for an engagement ring!

What do you think he wants as a birthday gift?

 

[Kaleigh]

It''s Harry Winston for sure.

Not sure about the birthday present, seems a tad odd??

 

[vespergirl]

I want that so bad I think I''m gonna cry. I''m tempted to go down to my junk mail pile & take up one of those credit card offers I''m always getting in the mail just to buy that ring. That''s the ring I''ve already earmarked for my 10th wedding anniversary (too bad that''s 8 years away). Sigh ... I hope one of you guys gets it so I can look longingly at the pictures of it on your hand here on PS ...

The only suitable birthday gift for Leon would be a week at charm school

I think he just as a unique sense of humor... the man makes beautiful jewelery to honor special occasions... I don''t blame him for just making a funny remark about wanting to recognize HIS special day. EVERYBODY likes to be noticed on their birthday and he is just being witty.

You mentioned charm school... I think there are two sides of every story and I bet Leon and his staff must think some customers need charm school! Leon is just wanting to feel APPRECIATED, ya know? We rave about him on PS... but how many people send him a THANK YOU?

I would THANK HIM if I could get that ring for that price!!!

Beautiful ring... but that is one of the STRANGEST (and most inappropriate!) write-ups I have ever read!!!

See my comment above...IT IS A JOKE. As in HA HA HA. Supposed to be funny. Yes- the man just has an odd sense of humor.

 

[LaurenThePartier]

I wonder what retail is on that gorgeous ring. Does anyone have any idea?

I''m working on one of my friends, right now.

 

[NewEnglandLady]

Ohhhhh! Harry Winston!! Why didn''t I figure that out!

I think it would be fun to buy Leon a b-day gift. I''d get him something silly, like one of those huge, fake plastic diamond rings. Then ask him to reset it, haha.

 

[erica k]

Oh, I wish I were an EC person! I hope someone on PS ends up getting it, would love to see hand pics...

Well, my guess would be that the center stone would go for about 8-9k and the metal and labor would go for about 2k. I don''t know about the traps, but I would guess somewhere around 3-4k maybe. I''m guessing this ring is discounted about 3-4k. Does that seem about right?

Sounds very close to what I just came up with, actually. Are the traps .67 ct. each? Or tcw?

 

[Miranda]

Oh man, I have never been a step cut girl, but, lately I have been oogling emerald cuts. I reeeeeeallllly want that ring!!!!!!!!!! This totally cracks me up! It is just hysterical! He must know how many people stare, drooling at his site every day! Well, I guess I can only speak for myself!

 

[Diamond*Dana]

I will say an extra prayer tonight that the money fairy drops a bag of cash on my doorstep...

OK, whatever! I can appreciate (and usually *get*) most kinds of humor (even my DHs!

) and I still think that was just plain weird!

 

[Rhea]

It does seem odd, sense of humour or not. Personally it would put me off buying the ring if I were looking.

 

[Sharon101]

Hmmmm, too weird!!!! Its even a bit creepy to me. I find it distasteful how he describes the beautiful italian leather box that you will NOT be getting with this ring!!!!!

. I mean come on, isnt that abit nastey???? Im in business myself in the industry and the box, no matter how special it is, is not a significant cost no matter how you do your accounting!!!!! Also, funny how one minute its right up there with HW (big tease) but not good enough to get the same box as all the other rings????

 

[Harriet]

I haven't a clue as to Leon's position on his boxes. He wouldn't give me one for my Spinel. Maybe he can't build too big a brand due to contractual obligations to his trade clients?

I think his commentary on the ring in question was meant as a joke. Perhaps it isn't funny, but neither are mine.
