After deliberating about a possible ring setting for two and a half years, I have decided to go with my instinct and first love - a bezel. I had spent the last four years dreaming about a Leon pave number, but realized the look just wasn''t "me". At least not for the EC.
One day on a way to a restaurant I walked into a jewelry store whose website I had seen online, and I loved everything about it. The diversity of jewelry I am not used to seeing all in one place: platinum, white gold, high carat yellow gold, semi-precous stones, diamonds, ethic styles, antique rings, modern rings and lots and lots of bezels. Within seconds I saw a ring that was "me". It was very similar to my yellow gold/saphire bezel, but this one was with a diamond. I almost instantly made up my mind that this was the place where I would get my diamond set.

I didn''t follow the protocol for custom work at all, I was too excited about the fact that I was finally able to make up my mind! After thinking about it for a week I showed up at the store with my diamond in hand and a couple of pictures and asked them to just do it. I knew exactly what I wanted, so it took us only a week and a couple of emails to work out the dimensions and details.

Before I parted with my diamond, I took some pictures as I may never see it naked again. I realize that most of the photographs look almost exactly the same, but I just love the step cuts, so I photographed it with different backgrounds.

I will ask the admin. to post them. Thanks for looking.
 
Well it must feel good to finally find ''the one''. Can you share what the design is or the name of the shop? It sounds interesting!
 
Yes, I''d love to see the design too!
 
Oops, sorry, I had to go get a new haircut to go with my new ring :-). After much angst and anticipation I picked it up yesterday and I love it.
Some of you may remember that it''s a 2.51 E VS1 that I love, but could not decide for anything what to do with it. I love Leon''s work and love pave, but I just couldn''t see my EC with it. Hopefully one day there can be another ring that I can have made by Leon.
Andrey is working on the stone pictures and I will get to the ring as soon as I can.
 
I can''t WAIT to see it, I think it''s going to be GORGEOUS!!!!

Design wise it''s very simple, full bezel on a 4mm band. I was going to have a satin finish on the shank, but since it''s a brand new ring, I thought I would leave it shiny for now.
