Sidestones for mahenge spinel?

[Indylady]

Double sets of step cuts please!!! It reminds me of this ring that Gypsy posted a while back. Its literally the single ring I have saved in my e-ring inspiration folder (well, technically its still on my desktop as I haven't made the folder yet since there's just one pic...but as soon as I do this ring is going to be the first one in!). You get the idea.

Yes that looks perfect to me. Doesn''t that belong to a PSer? LOVE it.

Uppy- I''m glad you decided on diamonds....I''m with LD that I just don''t like mixing colors. I love the leon setting you chose for the Mahenge- i can''t wait to see the finished product. Many of your rings I have in my inspiration folder!

How sweet. Thank you Sarah! It''s going to take me a while to save up for this puppy. I''ve requested a quote from Leon. I can''t wait for the stone to arrive. It is still at AIG lab for its cert.

I''m glad you decided to go with diamonds as well.

It's really going to satisfy all the seemingly competetive "likes" I've got going on.
~I like the elongated shape of the spinel and want to acknowlege that, especially since I've got short, chubby fingers
~the mixed native cut of this stone will be showcased by the step cuts of the baguettes
~I've always thought that white diamonds and metal are the best for these stones, although I'm normally a yellow or mixed metal gal
~sometimes in an effort to be formal, rings get fussy. I don't like fussy, but felt this stone deserves to be "respected" for it's unique nature
~Deco is my ideal style
~I secretly really wanted a Leon, and to let him do his thing

I really hope you get your stone very soon.
I am sooo excited about your project - it will be a stunning piece! And I just can''t wait to see it!
