very cool snoop... LOVE the reset! how close is the color in real life to the last pic?

 

[MMT]

Absolutely gorgeous

 

[neatfreak]

Ohhh I love it!

 

[stepcutnut]

Snooper-your new setting is beautiful! That last photo makes your EC look alot yellower than a U-V colored stone!

 

[Snooper]

Thanks again everyone! stepcutnut, yeah originally the vendor said it was u-v, but Pete at Quest and Leon both said no way, fancy light which is great as that saved me a lot of money!

Had I known it would have taken a while for them to set the ring (took 3-4 weeks to make), I would have sent it to GIA but oh well. I don't plan on selling it ever and now it's in the new setting it's more saturated than the yellow lever backs which were a y-z

I did toy with the idea of having LM recut it into a radiant to really up the color but he said "don't, colored step cuts are not as common and I like the color of this stone"

 

[T L]

Wow, you have some serious bling there !!!

 

[beechezz]

super yummy!

 

[isaku5]

[HollyS]

What?.... NOOOO! I didn''t know you were toying with a radiant re-cut! GASP! Bite your tongue.... ! I am so glad you didn''t!! The new pics are HOT!! ...and the family shot...SWOON! I hope to meet you and your Leon family of rings someday! ....and TISKERS.. he looks like he is ready to eat that yummy ring!!

 

[Snooper]

Thanks again everyone!

Yes, I honestly had considered having the stone cut into a radiant, but that was quickly turned down LOL

Thanks for letting me share with everyone. The ring needed to be reset. Time to oogle the rest of everyone''s jewelry

Hey Snooper, it''s been a while but I had to chime in with everyone else. Your ring turned out INCREDIBLE! What a difference! I so understand why you sent the original one to Leon for a more delicate setting. That is my complaint about my rings....too bulky. I''m tinkering with the idea of having Leon set my newest (it''s a year old now) stone, as once again I am not happy with the setting, but DH is reluctant to send the stone somewhere. I "get" where he is coming from but seeing ALL of your rings reminds me of Leon''s incredible workmanship.

Anyways, I love, love, love how it turned out!!!! And I love your cushion too!

Snoop! What an incredible remake - your ring was great before, but now it''s perfection! The color is subtley more yellow, all of the claw prongs are perfection and the angle of the side stones just right and it''s HUGE! Another Leon masterpiece.

Thanks for all of the gorgeous pictures! It''s such a happy day when I see another LM piece!!

 

[geckodani]

That beauty is a miniature sun! Just amazing- thanks for the new pics!

Thank you WOW!! Longggggggggg time no ''see''!! Isn''t it amazing what a new setting can do? Regardless who resets your year old stone, be sure to come back and post! You have one of the most exquisite collections!

Hey you! Yeah, that gold cup really made a difference! Especially for the center of the stone! *hugs*

Thank you ALL again for your kind words. I''ve enjoyed looking at everyone''s pieces and wanted to share with you all in return. Have a safe and fun weekend!

Which is your favorite?

 

[Snooper]

Hard to say... I guess the princess as it''s my main ER. I saw your thread about a spacer, 2mm is too think for a spacer (at least for me) but this new plain 1.6-1.7mm band is perfect.

DiaDiva--

I just HAVE to ask......can you tell me more about your fancy yellow that''s in your profile shot? We are just starting to shop for a 20th anniversary ring and I think I am in love with yellow diamonds! The picture on your profile is to die for! Thanks for any info, help, words of wisdom, etc.
