Tomorrow I will pick up my new Leon Mege ring
with a 2.07 ct Paraiba, sourced by Perry. I cannot
wait to see what the ring looks like in real life!

It was actually the Caribbean see that inspired me
to find a sea blue Paraiba. And, although I already
have a ring with french cut sides, I decided to have
french cut sides again for this ring. This time
antique high dome french cut stones and with a
straight non-tapered shank.

My inspiration ring was Missydebby's gorgeous piece
with antique cushion center stone. Thanks for the
inspiration Missydebby!!

I bought the center stone without having the
possibility to view it in real life. I have actually
never seen a Paraiba in real life before and I had to
rely on 4 pics and no video. I will find out soon
enough whether I love it in real life. The pictures
are very promising and I am so looking forward
to see it!!

Thank you Leon and Perry for creating such a
beautiful ring for me and sourcing the stone :wavey:

On to some pics the jeweller in Antwerp made (the
has been send to Antwerp by Malca Amit where
Diamond House has taken care of all the customs
hassle on my behalf):

Re: Paraiba sea glow and french cut waves - my Leon Mege rin

Yennyfire: thank you for your kind words! I am so excited :D

Distracts: thank you!!

Catmom: thank you!!! I am especially curious to see how it looks on my hand. I will make some hand pics tomorrow when I have the ring in my hands. Leon made a video of the ring: http://youtu.be/ujYirhwCqPk
In the video my ring is combined with a Megasaurus band as I was curious to see whether they could be combined. I had the ring made as a standalone ring but it could be fun to stack occassionaly? I might order the band later but first I need to see the ring itself :razz:

I made some stills from the video:

That color is outrageous! I've seen a paraiba in person a couple of times at my local jewelers, and the glow of the stone is just amazing. Congratulations on your gorgeous new ring! :appl:
