Congratulations on your engagement! You are such a cute couple.

Your ring is amazing. The rock is gorgeous and the setting blows me away from every angle. I love the twining band, the X under the head, and the taper into the shank. Leon really outdid himself. Yummo!

HI:

You''ll have the pleasure of seeing it in person at our GTG!

Yes! And I''m so looking forward to meeting you guys...

Thanks very much for all of the praise! I''m loving my ring more by the day. I can''t wait to show the Calgary gals in person, and to see your amazing stuff in return!

I am just going to repeat what everyone else has said--LOL. The ring is beautiful and the attention to detail impressive! I am going to see if I can find your earlier thread--I want to learn more about your design process because I absolutely know which Tacori design you mentioned (it was one of the first pieces my bf and I looked at--the criss cross was lovely). This ring is going to be a family heirloom for sure! Congratulations!

Hi Anita! Thank you for your kind words.

Please feel free to ask any questions you might have about the design process - I posted a lot about my stone selection process, etc., but I''m not sure if I posted much on the process of working with Leon.

Hi everyone! A quick note to say that I''m back home from holidays now at last and will post some hand shots from further away as requested this evening.

Have a great day!

 

[Sparkalicious]

Woohoo! Can''t wait.

More pics please! Its just stunning!!!!

Hi again everyone!

OK, so in response to the request for more pics I am about to post a whole bunch. Sorry for the overload but I''m meant to be packing for a business trip today but in true PS form have spent most of the day cleaning and photographing my ring! You can see in some of the up close ones that there was a strand of lint from the cleaning cloth in one of the prongs - beh!!

Some of you asked for more shots from further away for perspective. I''m not sure how far away is ideal, so I''m posting some of our photos from Maui in which the ring factors prominently. I also caught some fire shots of all different colors today, so I''ll post those. Finally, a few closer ups to show more of the detail.

I wish that I had more time to sort through these and choose just a few of the best, but I guess people don''t seem to mind *too many* photos, so here it goes...

Thanks for looking!!
