lovingdiamonds - I find myself reaching for the cushion ring more for now because it is new and also, it feels more like a fun ring even though it''s more blingy. I''m afraid 2 pink stones may be too much so I''ve been wearing the solitaire on the other hand.
akmiss - Thank you for your vote of approval. I decided that I had to double halo to make up for the smaller cushion, if not, I''d probably always pick the oval over it.
y2kitty - I love your spess ring too! I''ve been searching for more than a year for the right one but haven''t found a fanta orange one yet. Congrats!
crasru - I would go for size too. But they weights are very close, 2.66 and 2.35, the oval is just cut shallower.
icekid - Would you believe it''s actually blue? I don''t have a blue gemstone yet because I want the very very best blue and that means lots of $$$, so I''m still saving up. I''m not really a fan of pink, but these are more fuschia which I''m finding I like very much.
canuk-gal, Laila619 - Thanks!
Fly Girl - Me too! But I''m happy with what I have now, I need to add new colours to my collection.
TL - The AoP full cut melee are similar to WF''s melee. Very twinkly, white almost all the time. The single cuts behave quite differently. More contrast and flashier.
haagen_dazs - This is the photo I sent to the vendors since I couldn''t describe it well. At that time only Bob of WF understood what I was looking for and actually found the swala website on his own and asked me to look there. I was already in contact with Eric then, but I was really impressed. My stones are not as red as the one in the photo, but I''m happy because I did not want a stoplight red or a girly pink and mine are more pinkish-red/reddish-pink depending on the lighting.
LaurenThePartier - Thank you, but your collection is much more impressive and amazing! I wish I had an eye for colours like you do!
Charmypoo - No doubt Leon does wonderful work, but can you imagine telling him to make the airline a mm smaller which I did with Joe?
Stoniegirl - My friends and I jokingly referred to the oval as the "cursed stone" when nothing seemed to go right for while. I guess I needed a ring that had much less drama surrounding it.
MC, Burberrygirl, DiamanteBlu, marcyc - Thank you for posting on my happy thread.

OMG! That was the first thing that came to my mind and out of my mouth when I seen this cushion ring! It''s so gorgeous Boom. And your oval is just as amazing!
I totally agree with you on wanting a blue spinel. They are simply gorgeous and a nice colored one is hard to find with a good price tag these days. You usually find more of a water color with a big price tag when really anyone that would want a blue spinel wants that eye popping electric blue color.
But once again all your rings are stunning, and it will really be a hard pick which to wear. . .

Very pretty new ring Boom. It sounds like you enjoyed this ring building experience more than the last.
I must say it is really interesting to see a photo of the two different types of melee together. Now that you have both kinds, do you have a preference for one over the other?
I must be dim this morning but can someone tell me what AoP means?

Lovely ring Boom.

Brown.Eyed.Girl, bling addict, chiquitapet, oddoneout, gemgirl, CharmyPoo, glitterkitter, jcrow, Gailey, brandy_z28, Jim Rentfrow, cushioncutnut, virgoruby, Tacori E-ring, MonkeyPie - Thank you so much for the kind words.
CharmyPoo, virgoruby,
There''s no basket, I felt the ring was blingy enough, so I left the area under the halo empty, with just the culet peeking through. I''ve attached a photo where you can also see that the prongs on the shank clearly on the WF ring, but barely there on the Leon setting.
Gailey - I''m actually more about the final product than the experience, but WF exceeded my expectations and was able to execute the double halo very well. I don''t really have a preference between single and full cut melee. They are very different in terms of light return, but I would be happy with either.

WOW those are all just lovely. Similar but different. Perhaps you were meant to collect several rings in each stone?
TFS!!

The board ate my first post, but I love that ring so much I''m gonna try it again: Boom, what a beautiful piece of jewelry! That spinel has such a vibrant eye-catching color. Forget the stoplights, you''d notice that glow across the street first.

Thank you for the additional photos. Your rings are really to die for!
I also love that this is one of the first comparisons with a Leon and Whiteflash ring side by side. Many have asked before but no one has really seen a comparison this close together

Wow, doubles! Very beautiful, I''d love to see one of these stones in person on my screen they "scream" pink.
Can I ask though if the single cuts sparkle more or the full cuts?
