Made some changes with the help of Leon Megé

Back in 2013 I had a ring made at Leon Megé, where I purchased my 2.01 ct. H VVS2 cushion. I loved the diamond and really loved the setting, but began to think that perhaps a solitaire better suited my diamond. I also felt that the Mon Cheri setting really cried out for a colored stone.

Here is the before, the after (solitaire) and the Mon Cheri with a sapphire that I purchased from Leon.

Rachel and Leon were a pleasure to work with again.

Gosh, what a transformation to the diamond & what stunning rings! The sapphire definitely looks perfect in that setting, and the diamond looks so much bigger alone! Love the double claws :love:

Definitely a great transformation on both rings! The cushion really pops as a solitaire and the sapphire really shows up in the diamond ring. Beautiful!

Hi Pixgirl :wavey:
I noticed you had reset your beautiful cushion in the old lady hands thread. The elegant shape of your cushion looks fabulous in a solitair setting. Very sophisticated :love:

And I am so glad you have kept your stunning french cut setting and set it with a beautiful sapphire from Leon. You have two amazing ring and they both look so beautiful on you. Please post a lot more photo's of both rings.

What are the specs of your sapphire?

Hope you don't mind that I will now post your transformed french cut ring in the french cut sides thread :appl:
