This is a good problem to have though I guess! I''m going to reset my engagement ring and I''ve decided to use Leon Mege. I''m so excited to own one of his pieces! My problem is that I can''t decide on the setting. I''m choosing between 2 completely different looks. My stone is a 1.32 EC, F, SI1.
1. My original thought was to go with a halo design. I think Leon''s pave/micropave work is so incredible and I fell in love with it. However, when I spoke with Leo, his first reaction was that an EC doesn''t belong in a halo. He would do it for me but he feels it takes away from the clean lines that are the hallmarks of EC. He said he would certainly do a halo if that''s what I preferred and we talked about some different options with that. We would base it off of http://www.artofplatinum.com/4images/details.php?image_id=440 with a shank like http://www.artofplatinum.com/4images/details.php?image_id=440 However, his preference was to put it in a...
2. 5 Stone ring with traps and baguettes/bullets on the sides. He thinks it''s more of an elegant design and more suited to an EC. The example would be http://www.artofplatinum.com/4images/details.php?image_id=459 which I believe is LadyLuLu''s GORGEOUS ring.
I know that they are both incredible options and 2 COMPLETELY different looks. I would love opinions!
Also, do you think that the 5 stone ring with pave on the shank would be too much/too contrasting?
Thanks everyone! I''ve learned so much from lurking on here!
