I am thinking of having a plitunum solitaire amde for my 2 ct round. Would you go with Leon Mege, Whiteflash or Quest? Quest is in my area, so I''m thinking of going with them, but I''ve never seen any of their custom solitiares.
It depends on your taste. Given the 3 options you have given, I'd choose Leon because of the distinctive look. Have you also considered Mark Morell? He also does excellent solitaire work, I especially adore his 3 prong solitaires.
Quest! They did a solitare for me and it was gorgeous! Pete and Huan were great to work with and being able to physically take my ring there was great peace of mind. I highly recommend them! They also did my friend''s wedding band and its fab!
Quest would do a great job and they''re near by.... They will listen to your design ideas and excute them beautifully. I have worked with Leon, he does great work. I have always admired Mark''s designs, so fluid. Really depends what kind of solitaire you are going for....
I would be torn between Leon and Mark Morrell. Leon's stuff is beautifully delicate and Mark's stuff is like liquid platinum! Decisions, decisions . . .
If I were you, probably Quest because you can go in person and meet with them. For me, (not local to any of the vendors you mention), I''d go with Mark Morrell. I love his work; it''s exactly what I would want!
I remember February2003Bride had a solitaire custom made by them and she was very happy although she did change her ring not long after. She has a thread with pics of the quest ring.
Thanks for your replies everyone! I''m really torn now - I actually met with the guys at QUest a couple of months ago in anticipation of getting my new diamond, and they were wonderful. The only thing is that I really want double-claw prongs and haven''t seen them do that in any of their pictures - whereas Leon''s prongs I know will be fabulous.
Mark Morrell''s designs are beautiful also. I''m 90% sure that I want a "Harry Winston style" solitiare - 4 double claw prongs - but if I decide to go with a "Tiffany style solitiare" - 6 prong - I am thinking either Mark Morrell or maybe even Whiteflash ...
