Well, the wait is finally over! Lesley informed me that she would be sending me a tracking number and pictures today and I was really excited to see how the ring turned out. When I saw the pictures, the first that that came to mind was how gorgeous it was. It''s absolutely perfect and flawless. Since my girlfriend had her heart set on a princess cut and I couldn''t find any settings that I liked with princess cut diamonds in the band, I decided to have one custom made. I love the classic look of the Cartier 1895 setting and thought it would look beautiful with princess cut diamonds.
After talking to Lesley and explaining how I wanted everything and when she was done playing with the numbers, I was very happy when I learned the quote was within my budget. I knew I would probably have to increase my budget, but I didn''t know I was only going to increase it slightly and move up to a AGS0 .70ct diamond as well. I''m really thankful she worked with me and was able to get everything within my budget.
I definitely wanted to go with the truth head instead of the stock head. I wasn''t quite sure if I wanted the diamonds in the band to have a reverse taper or not, but Lesley assured me it would look beautiful and add the "designery" look to it. Wow! I''m really glad that I stayed with the original design and decided not to alter it. It''s beautiful and I can''t wait to see it in person tomorrow.
And last, but not least, I wanted to thank Lesley and Brian for taking the time to not only help with all the questions I asked, but for making it happen as well. I don''t think Lesley ever sleeps. She emailed me back faster than I could respond and most of the time after business hours. Her customer support is amazing and second to none and I look forward to doing business with them again when it comes time for the wedding bands.
