I feel badly for those who have had run ins with Leon. Should I ever have one, I would not hesitate to take my business elsewhere. This may not be the perfect analogy, but how many of us have had bosses who criticise without praising? By that same token, how many happy customers does Leon have?

It hasn''t and it won''t. He was extremely flattered when he saw it was named after him... And anything that makes him happy works for me!Date: 6/22/2008 4:18:02 PM

I''m sorry you had a negative experience with Leon, but don''t let it taint your engagement and enjoyment of your ring. Kudos to you for taking the ''Scott'' bit well! The word ''ordinary'' does sound derogatory, but would he have posted your ring if he weren''t proud of it?
I'm glad.Date: 6/22/2008 5:20:55 PM

And he should post it... It deserves to be posted, it took a lot of time and effort on is part and he should be proud of it. I only designed it and I'm terribly proud of it. I wouldn't have posted it on here if I wasn't
CR.. I am so glad to hear that you and your fiance have come to a reasonable solution to your ring situation!Date: 6/22/2008 4:00:43 PM

BeachBunny, Marian, Golden, Missy, Isabelle ~ Thanks so much for all the compliments!
Green With Envy~ Last Laugh?? Is that what this is all about?
Scarlett~ Amusing for sure... yet sad at the same time. It''s funny, I thought it was about me getting engaged, not about getting the last laugh.
Mrs. Jam~ I am terribly sorry to hear about your friend’s problem with the customer service. I am sure her ring is gorgeous, but the hassle has probably overshadowed the whole thing. It’s a shame to hear, and truthfully this is the first I have heard of his pave continually falling out. Is having it remade by anyone else a possibility….
Harriet~ I know your experience with him has been flawless, and I think that’s wonderful because I will say for the 100th time… his work is beautiful, just like all of your pieces. That has never been my issue. But we all have our own experiences, and my details were not only made perfectly clear in the consultation, but on the original contract and on the second, not to mention numerous calls. It really just bums us out to be honest, we had many more things in the pipeline for him to make me…
HE did refer to the top view of the ring as ordinary, which is perfectly fine by me. The truth is that was what I was going for… So many of you told me not to halo a 4ct stone and I did, but IMHO it was done incredibly tastefully so that the main stone can still the star. I would not be surprised if he posted more pics of it from the side bc that is the part that really shows how great he is at his craft. The profile of my ring is stunning, and that’s what he should be showing off.
I need to reiterate a few things:
My FI did come to an agreement with Leon. We have in writing that Leon will size the ring if and when the time comes. If the ring needs to be cut and made larger than can be done by scraping out some platinum, we will be charged minimally. This was the final agreement made by them.
I also want to say that, yes we were told by Leon that the ring was going to be named after myself. That didn’t happen, but it’s all the same in our book bc Scott is my FI, and I can’t think of a better way to make him a part of this ring, after all he was the man who had it made and proposed with it. We both think it is perfectly named as it is. An amazing ring named after an amazing man.
