My story begins a year and a half ago when I discovered a small chip on the main diamond of my upgrade ring. I loved that ring, had my eyes on it forever and it was a dream come true when I was finally able to call it my own. Long story short, the chip was not noticeable without a loupe, but it was on the corner and it always bothered me. I filed a claim with my insurance company and began a difficult journey with them that ended with them quoting me a less than fair replacement value. Based on that, I decided I could not part with my ring so I resigned to forever living with my beloved but no longer perfect diamond.

About a month ago I received a Jewels by Erica Grace sneak peek in my inbox. When I saw a photo of this ring, my heart literally lept with joy. So began another round of phone calls with my insurance company and lots of emails with Grace in an effort to obtain this gorgeous Leon Mege emerald cut ring.

I cannot say enough about how fantastic Grace has been throughout this process. Excellent service is truly rare these days and that's exactly what I experienced from beginning to end with JbEG. Grace's passion for what she does comes through in every email. Making a large purchase sight unseen can be a daunting task, but Grace completely put me at ease and I felt like I was working with a trusted friend. To top it all off, she also coordinated a very seamless transaction with Dave Atlas where the appraisal did not delay the shipment of my ring! I would work with Grace again in a heartbeat!

As difficult as it has been to part with my dream diamond in order to arrive at this gorgeous beauty, in the end, I think it's meant to be because this baby is a perfect fit. Now onto the stats & pictures!!

1.81 G SI1 emerald cut diamond, completely eye clean
7.74 x 6.74 x 4.12 mm
0.36ctw trapezoid side stones
set in platinum
size 5 scant

I love how delicate the setting is in person, I've always seen the gorgeous LM creations on PS and I am so happy to now have my own!
