The stone is pretty big. originally 11.77 ct and 14x12x8, but we had the cutter take a bit off the corners to widen so the proportions of bagettes in halo looked better.
the rose colored sapphires look neat next to green... but I only saw them together once last December when trying to decide setting! Thought pink and green less formal for a tourmaline... but Leon went a little wild with the diamond bubbles on the sides! Did not think he would put so many! Will see tomorrow am!
I received the ring and I''m totally blown away by the workmanship! It really is one of a kind! The rose pink sapphires enhance the tourmaline and the delicate diamond pave is incredible. To all those who have Leon pave- WOW!!!
I just can not bare to take hand shots because living in So Cal... financial situation has changed and mortgage issues take priority... so I probably need to sell ring instead of enjoying for myself.
Green,
I''m sorry to hear about your financial situation. I hope you get to enjoy that exquisite ring for a while (Green was in town for the long weekend and I had the pleasure of trying it on).
I am so sorry to hear of your situation. Things are so bad everywhere. I am glad though that at least you had the pleasure of having your beautiful ring for awhile.
I do hope things get better for you. I just know they will.
Green, please please please post this as a thread in SMTR because so many people dont come into the colored forum area...I think many people would like to see this ring, particularly since Harriet''s posted her Tsav over there...Do it!
