What a difference some Leon makes!!!!

[Matata]

I''m speechless. Everytime I think you have shown us the most beautiful thing you own, you ratchet it up a notch. Congratulations on the redo. It''s stunning in all aspects.

Yay for Leon!

 

[bling*diva*]

~~I''m soo in love with the new Leon setting!! It truly is stunning!!

 

[headlight]

A change in the setting can make a huge difference! I, too, just had the shank re-done on my three stone ring and it has made me fall in love with it all over again (I''ll have to post pics soon).
Enjoy -- it is absolutely stunning.

 

[Siamese Kitty]

Holy Moly that''s gorgeous!!!!

That Leon sure does some amazing work!

 

[diamondfan]

WOWZA! Is that a stunner...so much more refined ans a show stopper now...makes the stone just look amazing! Wear it in good health

 

[Beacon]

Positively wonderful. What a great look. I adore the double claw prongs. The whole thing is balanced and beautiful. Of course he had your great stones to work with, but you have to hand it to Leon - he''s a master!!! Great decision on your part to go for the reset.

 

[Ann]

Oh, I have been waiting for this. Gosh, it is just gorgeous. Leon is the man!
Proof, less is more. Beautiful setting. Enjoy!

 

[diamondfan]

I need to know the specs of that beauty!

 

[Beacon]

Yah, me too, specs? I came into this thread just tonight, but so glad I found it - what a treat!

Widget,

Wow! What an amazing transformation! Your ring is perfect now; absolutely ''drop dead'' gorgeous! The old mounting did not do justice to your Asscher. Now, aren''t you glad you drove all the way to PA for our GTG in July. Otherwise, you would not have gotten the little ''push'' from Mara to get your Leon makeover. Enjoy your ring. Hope I get to see it in person some day. Are you sure you can''t make it to the SF GTG this weekend?

i love being an enabler.

 

[Cehrabehra]

oooh it looks so much more comfortable now too! congrats!!!

 

[Boom]

Wow!! I love it!

The ring looks more elegant and streamlined now, and the diamonds can take centerstage with no distractions.

Congratulations on an amazing ring, Widget!!

 

[Lorelei]

I need to get some Kleenex to wipe all my slobber up! Widget it is SPLENDIFEROUS!!! Congrates!!!

 

[CareBear]

I'm so glad you decided to change the setting Widget. I'm totally drooling over those Leon prongs. So delicious!

 

[dani13]

WOW, Widget

- The new setting is AMAZING!!! I love it!!! Another Leon masterpiece!! Enjoy it!

 

[glitterkitty]

Stunning, absolutely stunning.

Enjoy wearing such a beautifully transformed jewel

 

[kucinta]

WOW Widget!! What a transformation!

An instant update for those beautiful stones. I love the side-by-side side view comparison, and the tapered shank on the Leon is sooo elegant!

 

[Ellen]

Beautiful. Classy. Timeless.

You got it all.

Congrats again!

 

[appletini]

Stunning!!!

 

[anchor31]

It''s beautiful!!

 

[Giada]

Absolutely stunning!! The new setting showcases those gorgeous stones wonderfully! It looks like a true classic heirloom piece!

More pics, please!!

 

[Lady Lulu]

My, oh my! That is absolutely stunning. It is classic, timeless and E L E G A N T. I think you have truly added to the heirloom quality of these stones by having Leon reset them this way. There is truth in the old saying that "less is more". I am hoping to have a Leon ring some day soon. I may have just found another inspiration ring.

Could you share the stats of your stones with us one more time? I know they are posted somewhere out there, but I don''t know where to look.

 

[moremoremore]

OH.
MY.
G*D.

I don''t know what else to say ... except for I wish it was mineminemine!!! Stunning.

I'm hoping to get a "noseshot", but Widget is proving to be a very uncooperative ring model! Here's the best I've got so far...she looks like she's in front of a firing squad
