So beautiful and fluid! Reminiscent of Mark Morrell''s work, I''d say, but with the distinctive LM claw prongs!

More proof that Leon is as much of a master of simple settings as he is of ornate pave work!

Oh wow, ltl, it''s just gorgeous!!!! Love the trellis setting!! Congrats!!!

And here is the shot off of his website of this style with larger stones - I believe he said this center is a 3ct.

I don't think this is his favorite style - it's more time consuming (and more expensive to make) than the basket setting. But I love this style and have wanted it for years. I took the big leap of faith and went for it based only on this picture.

It is by far the MOST comfortable setting I have ever worn. It feels like silk on my finger. It fits perfectly between my fingers. And the way the band is angled, it *NEVER* rolls so the diamonds are sideways or upside down. I could go on and on....

I am picture challenged. And I *have to* take outstanding pictures to justice to the ring. I''ve had it for over two months!!!

Weren''t you going to do a three stone? What happened?
