Can you imagine, a Leon in every color??

Yes! But then I''d have to imagine me bankrupt too.

I came back to drool some more. Seriously, what a wonderful makeover!

True.


Jane and Delster, thanks guys!


Eva, at your request, I''m posting a few more and going for obnoxious. If these people get sick of me and my pictures, it will be ALL your fault!

I know I''ve bugged you for more pics of your beauty, so I owe you.

wow! between your amazing recut and Isabelle''s I''m just blown away.
PS sure has broadened my diamond lovin horizons.

Your stone has too many personalitites to count. How in the world are you going
to keep up with her?

(ps- What''s up with Sharon lately? I haven''t seen you give her any smack-downs in a while.
I certainly miss those! )

I have no idea, but I''m up to the challenge!

And honestly, that Sharon has been behaving terribly well lately. I''m just waiting to pounce on her.

Spectacular Ellen!! So happy for you to have that! And it''s totally wearable!! I just can''t get enough, I keep coming back to look! Congrats!

Wow Ellen, I LOVE these new photos. The flower shots are gorgeous. I just LOVE the color of the aqua. Such a clear color stone. Grandma''s rings are such treasures aren''t they??

Well, I''m really late to the party. Six pages and your posting is barely 24 hours old.

Anyhow, love, love, love that beautiful aqua ring. You did it right. Richard Homer and Leon Mege. Absolute perfection.

The jewelry stores simply don''t carry rings like that. I know, I''ve been looking for years.

Love the color and the step cut, how beautiful it looks at all angles, and best of all, the classic simple solitaire setting.

Great project and love the pictures. Enjoy that gorgeous ring!

 

[tiffanytwisted]

Gorgeous ring! I LOVE the water shots!
Congrats!

Hey Ellen, did you post the dimensions of the newly cut stone? If you did, I can''t find ''em! Is it square?

Beautiful new pics! No, you are not obnoxious. Just feeding our obnoxious obsessions!

 

[Patty]

Ellen, I had to log in to tell you that your ring is stunning!

It''s absolutely gorgeous and you got some wonderful pictures of it.

Enjoy it!!!

 

[Miranda]

Oh Ellen, and dare I ask for one more pic when you get a chance. PLEASE! I am wondering how your aqua sits with another band. Could you take one with your aqua and a wedding band? If you don''t mind, I''d love that!

Sorry, my wheels are turning....As always!

Ellen, 1. your pics blow me away. you have some amazing skills.
2. the color on that stone.. holy gawd.. gorgeous. You picked a great setting to showcase it as well.

Wear it in great health. You''re very lucky to have such a beautiful stone that''s an heirloom as well.

 

[ilovethiswebsite]

now that is a beautiful makeover!!! that sucka would look amazing with a halo too!!!

 

[disneybride]

Woweeeee! It''s so gorgeous.

I keep coming back to sneak a peek at it! Just beautiful, Ellen!

 

[mercoledi]

Ellen, it''s truly remarkable, an excellent tribute to your grandmother and well worth the wait.

Enjoy it in good health!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Ellen, WOOOOOOWWWWWWWIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE!

I''m in love. I can''t help it! But seriously, in addition to all of the beautiful sentimentality of your new aqua, it''s just flat out the most gorgeous Aqua ring I have ever seen.

It better not be!!!!!! Each shot is simply more amazing than the last. Seriously.

It''s stunning Ellen, I think you made a great decision to recut it and set it in a lovely leon. You weren''t loving it or enjoying it before and now you are and it''s a stunning modern ring to enjoy and pass down yourself!! It looks like a beautiful cartier style ring!
