Scarlet, that is awesome news!!! I am so excited for you!!! That quote sounds totally reasonable! I can''t wait to hear what he says... When is the apt?


Dani, are you in NYC too? I would love to do a GTG next time I am in the city. There aren''t really any PS''ers in my area except for Legacygirl about 2.5 hours away.


PS... Maybe he will show you the progress on my ring! I''m dying down here!

CR-

Sounds like a destination GTG! Didn''t someone talk about a PS convention before??? CAN YOU IMAGINE all the sparklies in one room!!!!

 

[CrookedRock]

Yup... I''m in Palm Beach. About 5 mins from the Breakers which is where our favorite dinner spot is, The Seafood Bar. Amazing food. We are actually considering it as our pre/post, not sure which yet, party spot to celebrate getting married as we are planing on eloping. Come on down!!

A PS convention!!! OMG! I would have to bring a bib to control all the drooling I would be doing. I think it''s a fabulous idea! Do we know anything about it!

Scarlet when is your appt with the man?

Ooh...CrookedRock, come up and play!!! Just curious, are you in school, too? I''m finishing up my last semester of law school and not working for the first time in about 5 years...

Dani, I can ask about Friday if you''d definitely come in!!!! What time is good for you?

Well, as long as its not super early and I can catch a train...maybe like 1-ish? Where could we meet if I take a train into Penn?

1-ish works for me. I'm free all day.

Maybe we could meet at Michael C. Fina on 5th & 46th (I think). There's a ring I wanted to try on before I met with Leon (the Mark Patterson that CrookedRock posted about). And then Leon is right there.

ETA: Leon is totally avoiding me! I called at 1:15 and his assistant was like he's on his way back now and will be here in like 15 minutes...

ETAII: Dani I must really like you! This will push back the starting time on the ring a week.

LOL, you're too funny!!! I would totally be up for going with you, but if you want to go sooner, I understand!!! I hate my schedule!

How far is MC Fina from Penn station? If I remember correctly, I can walk if the weather is ok (like 20 mins)? Or am I totally wrong?

We can hit MC Fina, then go to Leon's, then maybe get a bite to eat? What do you think?

Penn is at 34th & 7th so not too far (let''s see, like 10 blocks up and 2 aves). Probably around 15-20 min.

I just called again btw (the assistant hates me by now) and I was going to make the appt for Friday at 12ish but wanted to check with you. Is that too early? She''s going to have Leon call me back (he''s in w/ a customer).

No, that''s fine....Can we do MC Fina afterwards? I want to go there too!

 

[dani13]

I can take a 10:00 train and be to Penn by 11:15 I think....Then we could meet up, and go to Leon''s...Then whatever afterwards!

 

[scarlet16]

I''ll see if we can get like a 1:30 appt. so we can go before. Otherwise we can go after...no prob. YAY!

 

[dani13]

Just get whatever appt you can....we can do Leon before or after doesnt matter! Maybe the earlier the better, you know?

eta: unless you want to go to MC Fina before so you can try on that ring so you have a better idea of what to discuss with Leon?

 

[scarlet16]

Perfect. Can't wait! I'm nervous he's going to book up ... should I just call back and get the 12:00 appt?

ETA: I can go over to Michael C Fina on Monday to get an idea and then we can go back on Friday just to play!

ETA: this is annoying...wish there was private messaging.

YES!!!!!! If you want I can come in earlier so we can go to MC Fina first, I dont care....Dont forget I wake up at 4:30 am to go to work....LOL!!!

I know re: ms-ging.....hopefully after Fri we can just contact eachother directly....ha ha

 

[kcoursolle]

Wow, lovely rings on this thread!!! I think leon''s quote is really reasonable!!! Honestly, I think his work is so amazing that if you can get a ring made from him someone in your budget that is the way to go.

 

[scarlet16]

Ok, she's sooooo annoyed at me!!! I made the appointment for 1:30 but apparently he doesn't really like appointments on Friday b/c he closes up at 4 so she may call me back if he changes his mind. UH OH!!!!

ETA: so we're on for now, but I'll let you know if anything changes. What time does that get you in to Penn?

It is very reasonable but I''m slightly annoyed at these platinum prices! I saw that Soprano''s tiger solitaire (no pave) was only like $1600 a few months ago, and I understand some of it the difficulty in the labor of setting melee...but that''s pretty big jump!

Great! Sounds good! If anything changes, let me know. I am trying to check the train schedule right now, but its taking forever and a day for the page to load...What time would you like me to be there so we can go to MCF first?

 

[scarlet16]

It''s literally across the street from Leon so do you think 30-45 minutes is enough at Michael C. Fina? If so, let''s say between 12:30 and 12:45? Does that work?

 

[dani13]

Ok, so I either get in to Penn at 11:20 or 12:25....I dont want to change trains, want to take a direct train, and those are the 2 running around that time....Remember I have the 20 min walk....Should I take the 11:20? Then I can meet you at MCF at 11:45-ish? Then we can have plenty of time to look around without rushing, you know?

 

[scarlet16]

Totally your call! I''m just excited to have a buddy coming w/ me. I''m NOT a shy person but for some reason I''m a little nervous to meet Leon.

If you want to take the earlier train and we''re done early at Michael C. Fina we can walk around the Diamond District a little. Or maybe Mark will let us go up and you can meet my stone!

That sounds great!!!!! I will take the earlier train, so I will get in at 11:20 to Penn. Then I will walk up to MCFina and meet you in front....sound good?

I am totally not a shy person either, but I too am a little nervous to meet Leon! Im so thrilled I get to go with you though!!! Thanks for inviting me! Its going to be so fun!

If you can email Mark and ask him if we can stop by to see the stone, that would be FAB!!! Tell him Dani from NJ will be with you and wants to see it!! LOL!!!

Sounds PERFECT! I'll leave my apartment at the same time and should get there right when you do. YAY!!!

Goodness, my FI is going to think I'm wack-o for meeting people from PS...he already thinks I'm a weirdo for being on here 24/7. Maybe we'll just leave that part out for now...

ETA: Oh CR, if you're still lurking, wanna join us???

We know Leon loves you!!!
