Waiting for an email back from Leon

[athenaworth]

I've found exactly what I want to do to reset my 2.5 RB. I have no idea how much it will cost, but I've given myself a limit. Hopefully he's not over it, because I am dreaming about this ring.

No idea how much it will cost, but it's a beautiful setting.

 

[athenaworth]

I'm wondering if the price would decrease a little if i went with yellow diamonds. hmmm

There may be more pictures of this ring. I vaguely recall seeing it on a PSer.

 

[athenaworth]

OMG I was secretly hoping it was PS'er's ring so I could see more. I've done a search, but lemme just tell you - there are a lot of posts out there with "leon" in them.

Hey! That is a cool ring. I hope he gets back to you.

But is he on his July vacation right now? I know he takes it every year. I got my ring from him last year and he was incommunicado for most of the month....just fyi.

 

[athenaworth]

Thank you for letting me know that. I"ll stop constantly checking my email then.

 

[Dreamer_D]

It is awesome. I would expect that setting to cost in the $5000 range, if not more, just in case your limit is much less than that I don't want you getting your hopes up too much

 

[athenaworth]

Dang. I could only go $3k. Back to the drawing board. Thank you Dreamer.

It could come up like that, but I just doubt it given then quotes listed in the rocky talky Leon thread. Seems for a split shank with pave and pink diamonds you will be looking at a hefty price. You never knoW!

I know someone who emailed Leon this week to ask when they would be closed for vacation. She got a response from Perry that said they would reopen on Monday 7-12. So hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer.

I found a couple of Leon pink halo rings (not split shank unfortunately) for you to gander. Maybe if you look up the poster's previous threads, it'll give you an idea of the cost.

QQQ posted a quote from Leon he received for a pink halo here:

(Yikes!)

I would estimate $4500 to $5000 plus cost of melee. Although you never know, the pricing doesn't appear to be a science.

I know someone who does custom work. I've been talking to him too. I know it's the pink diamonds that are going to put me over the top, but I love them so. He suggested a lavendar spinel. I kinda don't want to compromise on my forever ring, but considering I haven't even broached the subject with DH, I may have to consider a little comproimse.

Thank you for the links. I loooove just looking at them all.

The reason I wanted a split shank was so I could have a stand alone ring. Maybe I'll have to search somewhere else.
