What a difference some Leon makes!!!!

[widget]

Hi, all...

I just had my Mom''s antique asscher remounted!!! Even though it''s still a basic three-stone basket mounting, the difference is astonishing. This new masterpiece by Leon Mege is perfect...so delicate! I''m truly thrilled beyond words.

Here''s the thread that tells the saga of this project: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/hey-widget.49236/

If you''re not up to wading through that, MrsSalvo has so kindly offered to transfer my pictures over to this, in the SMTR forum. Thanks, MrsS!!!!

For starters, here are some "before" pictures....you can see that there was room for improvement LOL...

Oh be still my heart, it is just so beautiful! Such a classic, elegant piece--as I said in your other thread, I didn''t think it could get better than the original setting but it''s just fantastic now! That grape shot is simply delicious! Congratulations on your makeover masterpiece!!!

Simply amazing! The way those prongs hug the large crown is so elegant, and reminds me of great vintage jewelry.

(Widget, did you say dial-up?)

Wow, what a difference a setting can make. I bet your mama would love that you gave it such a beautiful makeover. Leon is such a master. I hope to own one of his works of art someday.
