I can''t wait to see this.

-I don''t know the specs for Harmon''s ring. I think the center is 4cts or less
 
YAY Kristy..I can''t wait to see the final ring..It''s going to be AWESOME

Oooh just checked this thread Kristy and I think that is a great decision going with the larger pears!

Can''t wait to see the finished result - all us sharks will be circling BIG TIME!

Congrats - I know you will be delighted!
 
I don''t think you will regret your decision. I can''t wait to see the finished ring!

Kristy the larger pears is the way to go with that gorg. diamond of yours. I think you made the best choice. And by the way I love your rb it''s so beautiful...
 
will the pears be angled quite a bit to fit on your small finger?
 
KD,
I am sooo late in responding to this thread. The pears look awesome. I can''t wait to see your ring. It''s going to be drop dead gorgeous. How many more weeks??
 
Kristy sweetie HOWEVER are you going to fit your big ole stone AND larger pears on that little 3.5 finger of yours? Leon has his work cut out for him. You aren''t going to be able to close your fingers girl!
 
I somehow missed the decision making process, but I am all for these 1.14 ctw pears! Can''t wait to see the finished ring....

cutey TT, Firegoddess, Mara, Kaleigh, sevens, Mrssalvo, Lorelei, Kitty, MGR --

Yes, the wait is killing me!!! Leon said it would probably take about 4 weeks. He got my check yesterday so I''m guessing 4 weeks from yesterday -- May 1? He mumbled under his breath that since this is an easy ring to make, it could take as little as 3 weeks, but his studio is really busy and he couldn''t guarantee that. Fortunately, I''ll be out of town all of next week visiting my mother (and leaving the kids at home with DH, eeeeeek!) so I''ll be preoccupied and busy with other things for 1 of those 4 excruciating weeks.

I asked Leon multiple times if he thought the 1.14 pears would really, truly fit across my finger and he insisted yes each time. He didn''t hesitate at all. I''m not sure, but my guess is that all 3 stones will have to sit a tad higher in the basket and the pears would be angled in order to fit. I''m very anxious to see how this will turn out! Thanks for being excited with me!!!
 
Oooooh so you will get yours before mine I think!! GOSH can''t wait!!
 
here''s a side shot of Headlight''s ring. (I don''t know her size though)
the center is 3.29 and the sides are .75 ctw.

It has a nice slight angle to it.






 
Can''t wait!!
 
Oh KD you must be so excited! Will LM be sending your pictures of the work in progress?
 
Hee hee, thanks girls.

Mat -- Leon says he does not send photos of his work in progress.

I asked him again today (for the 10,000th time!) if this ring is do-able given the size of all the stones, he said yes and that it will be comfortable as well.

Let the torture of waiting begin............
 
By the way, sevens -- thanks for that picture of Headlight''s ring. Mine will look very similar, I think, in terms of the angling. Now that I''ve thought more about it, I don''t think I''ll mind angled sides because that will cause the center stone to pop more...remain center stage, know what I mean? If they''re too linearly placed, I think it starts to look like a band instead of a center stone with sides. But who knows....it''s all speculation until I actually see the ring!
 
hey Kristy,
I just read in another thread that you aren''t planning on wearing a wedding band? Not going for the Angie Harmon 3-stone with eternity band look?
 
Mrs. S -- no, I don''t plan on wearing it with a band, but I''m leaving the option open.

If I get a lot of "When''s the wedding?" inquiries, then my 2.5mm plain platinum band could work with it. OR, perhaps a 2mm plain knife edge might be dainty and subtle and it might match the pinched shank on either side of the pears. I dunno, I''ll have to see the finished ring first. But I definitely will not wear an eternity or other diamond band with the ring, that would be overkill on my hand. (now if I were 6 feet tall with fingers that go on forever like Angie Harmon, I''d probably think differently!)
 
Kristy, I want details of your beauty. I saw AH''s, it is lovely and yours will be too. I agree with all who said go bigger. I really do not think you will regret it. The SECOND I get permission to get the more expensive or bigger item, OFF I GO. And, you never know what the future holds. Enjoy it now, love it and cherish it, and see what happens later on! (I hate promising I will be content, cause I know how my mind works!

Hi Diamondfan! Thanks for visiting my thread.

I''m still a little apprehensive of my decision to go bigger with the sidestones, particularly around the issue of how they will "wrap" around my small finger, but Leon insisted it was going to be fine so I just put my trust in the artist. The ring will arrive THIS FRIDAY (if all goes well). I don''t know how I''m going to make it through this week!!!!!
 
4 more sleeps!

4?? Still a lot!!

FOUR

MORE

SLEEPS!!!!
 
Kristy, patience is a virtue for sure, one I lack! The time will seem to crawl by at times, but before you know it you will be wearing it. And, if I know at all, you will get very used to your gorgeous glam new bling in NO time flat! Like I said, I doubt you will regret going bigger, but might regret not going bigger!
 
YAY Kristy! I can''t wait for you to finally get your ring. I know the last couple of days of waiting will be the hardest...but hang in there...!

Come Friday, it will all be worth it. You''re gonna love it, I''m sure.

I love, love, love the ring you are soon to wear.
It''s my favorite 3 stone style.
Gorgeous!

glad you went with the larger pears!

Can''t he send you a pic to tide you over until Friday?

Four more days is not so bad I guess - I just have no patience! We are all anxious to see this masterpiece!
 
Friday will be here before you know it!! I can''t wait!!!

Thanks for the support, ladies. :) Unfortunately, Leon does not send pictures of work in progress. I think they''re still working on it, soooo....no Leon-snapped pics until the day he sends it off, which hopefully is Thursday!
 
I don''t know how I missed this thread until now, but I have no doubt that Leon was right about the big pears. They look perfect! And well worth the extra money. You''re getting a Leon, what''s another few dollars?
