The journey has ended, my upgrade...

[iheartscience]

WOW, it''s just stunning! It''s gorgeous from every angle and the fleur de lis is perfect, in my opinion! I love the super tiny diamonds that are on the bar thing under the basket...not sure what that thing is called! And the sidestones look perfect. Really the ring is just beautiful and perfect! Congratulations!

P.S. But I''m with neatfreak...bubble wrap?! Honestly?! I think he did that to get us PSers all riled up!

WoW

its gorgeous, really really beautiful.

one thing tho............box!!!

 

[bebe]

Yeah, regarding the box issure with Leon - it''s funny. My thoughts are he supplies jewelry for other jewelers and stores
and they supply the box, so for him, it''s something he doesn''t do. I know it''s been said PS is a tiny fraction of his business,
but you''d think for his direct clients he would supply a box!! I''m off to search the net for a new home for it. I''d love
a white box that opens outward from the middle. I know I''ve seen those. For weeks I searched for a tiny decorated
little box, like a trinket box, or a Faberge (sp) egg box. But so many of those have a hard ceramic interior. I think I
will give that up and find a real ring box. I''ll post a pic if I find one.

STUNNING!

Love your ring--it''s absolutely beautiful!!

I really dig the rose gold fleur de lis. What a gorgeous and unique ring! I just showed hubby, and he loves it too!

 

[Love in Bloom]

I'm blown away Bebe - what an amazingly beautiful ring!!

 

[Cachette]

What a stunning ring!!!

It looks lovely on you.

My hands tend to swell alot in the summer also and I hate a tight ring; makes my fingers look fatter than they really are.

Glad it is now safely on your finger.
Enjoy!

Beth, it''s absolutely stunning!!!! The fleur d''lis is perfect, IMO, and I know that details are much more obvious under macro photography.

I can''t wait to see more pics of it!!!

Thank you all! It means so much that my fellow bling lovers approve. Honest!
My taste in bling runs the entire gamut from sleek contemporary to ultra feminine.
I guess it''s obvious I put everything I liked in this ring

Were can I get one?

You may want to post a video. With so many stones on there, you would need a dozen camera angels to really capture it.

Congrats!

But seriously, where can I get one?

Seriously Danny Rose!

The diamond was sourced through Mark at Engagement Rings Direct (a Pricescope vendor located in NYC)

The setting was crafted by Leon Mege at Art of Platinum, a Pricescope vendor, NYC)

 

[gemgirl]

bebe, it''s absolutely drop dead gorgeous!

 

[bebe]

I''m shameless!
2 more pics and I promise I''ll stop, tee hee

 

[julesbeth]

Oh my gosh! It is just gorgeous! I adore it, I love it, I want it!

Congrats

 

[bebe]

thanks everyone for all your comments.
the pics really magnify the bling factor
in this ring. In real life, it''s more subduded
than some of the pics represent.

 

[idreamofice]

Oh My!!!!! I''m completely blown away!! Your ring is AMAZING!!! Yay!!! Congrats on your upgrade!!!!

 

[ms_claudia]

Sooooooo gorgeous! Have you thought about micro-pave for your band? That would definitely put it over the top!

I''m not going to wear a band. Leon made it clear - No Band -

Actually I never considered a band. I knew from other PS''ers that the
2 rubbing against each other can present problems with the pave.

It''s lovely! What''s the significance of the fleur-de-lis for you? (Heh heh, I had to ask.

)

I''m a bit of a Francophile. I love Paris, the French countryside, the food, .....
My dad''s side of the family (many generations ago) is part French.

Leon and I discussed putting little tiny diamonds in the space, much like
Reena''s (PS''er) ring he designed a few years ago. The little diamonds reminded
me of Champange bubbles, which I love. But that design just didn''t work out.

W

W!!!! Please don''t stop posting pictures!!! I love it!!!

 

[HollyS]

Holy smokes! That''s a honkin'' big bundle of bling!!

Enjoy; and be sure to stock up on sunglasses -- I think you may need them!

 

[bebe]

this pic shows the diamonds that Leon burnished set into the shank. There is 1 more diamond on the other side.
Originally they were to be our families birthstones, but he ended up just doing the diamonds. I wished all 4 stones
were side by side

 

[bebe]

side shot

 

[snlee]

It''s absolutely STUNNING!

The 4 stones on the inside to represent your family makes it extra special. Nice touch.

I am shocked that Leon doesn''t use ring boxes! Bubble wrap!?

 

[pixley]

It''s magnificent, bebe! I love everything about it and there is so much to love!

 

[MMT]

That is alot of bling, it is absolutely gorgeous

 

[icekid]

bebe- what a phenomenal ring! I do believe that it is my favorite Leon ever and that''s saying quite a lot, since I love his work. And I literally laughed out loud when I heard about the bubble wrap. Leon, he is definitely a character. But now that I think about it, bubble wrap sounds more safe than the box where it could be flopping around anyway

 

[bebe]

thanks for the nice comments.
It is snowing in Houston tonight, so I took it outside
to greet the rare snowfall. I''m so afraid of getting it dirty, I''m not wearing it.
Now I have to get over that!

 

[BeGatch!]

BEBE- WOW!!!!!!! I really love your ring! It is soooooo very unique and gorgeous, I want to upgrade my stone and ring pretty soon, and I know for sure that I want Leon to make my ring, he is such an artist! You have great taste... I never ask this type of question but because I''m wanting to have Leon make my future ring I was curious what a magnificent ring like yours cost? You don''t have to give me an exact amount but a ballpark figure would help! Thanks in advance and wear your ring with pride!
