Leon 3 carat pad maybe I made a mistake

The shots on the yellow-ish fabric seem like just bad pictures, of a good ring!!!!
 
Beautiful ring, and the paparadscha is cut nicely. They usually have gaping windows. I would have a hard time parting with that ring, but good luck on whatever you decide to do with it!

I personally think you got a steal. A three carat padparadscha would go by itself for $12K alone from some vendors, even heated ones. You got the setting for free.

If TL likes it, then you know it's good :bigsmile:
 
I think your ring is stunning. I love it paired with denim in your first set of pictures and I bet it is equally beautiful when worn formally. What a great find! It is clear from your post that you are not blaming Leon but merely venting. I think many of us can relate to being in a similar 'having second thoughts' situation at some point. I hope that after the dust settles you find that you love the ring. If not, I agree with the others that you should have no problem selling it. Until then, wow a 3 carat certified pad in a custom setting! Thanks for sharing it.
 
Dori I feel for you. Impulse purchases are the worst. If you love the item you find all sorts of reasons to justify why you bought it. If you don't, you find so many reasons on how the money should have been better spent. I think most of us have been there. I hope you find a good resolution to this situation (either you fall in love with the ring or you sell it and recoup what you paid). And I admire you for posting this thread. Take care.
 
Marlow, thanks for looking but I already have a nice pinky. It came from spectral gem a few years ago.

I keep coming back to this thread to look at the lovely pad.

It's a gorgeous stone, and I love the unique take on a halo.

I think I've been here 4-5 times, just to enjoy it. . . :clap:
 
Wow, Dori, you have great taste. I love your other ring as well.
 
So two beautiful rings :appl:

Enjoy them!
 
You have great taste Dori!!! The ring you just posted is amazing. How do you feel about the Pad ring now that you have lived with it for a few days?
 
Ohhh! That ring is beautiful too!
I wouldn't complain if you had more of your collection to add
 
3 carat, perfect cut, heat only, AGL certed, and Leon setting pad for 12K? it's a steal!! it's not pad's best color, but the stone looks stunning.
 
Its been over a week and I have worn the ring everyday. I can really appreciate the different colors the stone gives out at certain angles, so is a keeper. After all the feedback, and research, I really appreciate how fortunate I am to have this stone for the price I paid. Thanks everyone for there input.

So glad the stone and setting have grown on you. You have excellent taste and your ring is amazing
 
Holy cow that color made me gasp (in a good way)!
 
Whoot! :dance:

I'm SOOOOO glad you're going to keep it! :appl:
 
Again - you have a gorgous ring :appl:

Enjoy it...
 
Congratulations! I think you made the right choice.
 
HI:

Splendid piece! You wear it well, enjoy.

Wish it were mine! :love:

cheers--Sharon
 
Dori, so happy you fell in love with it! Enjoy your gorgeous ring. :appl:
 
Another lovely ring to add to your growing collection.
 
Dori, I'm so happy you've grown to love and appreciate the ring? It truly is stunning! Your spinel ring is equally as gorgeous. Congratulations on having such a beautiful collection.
 
It's a gorgeous setting and the sapphire is a beautiful colour, I'm glad you came to like it.

This is awesome news! :clap: I think the ring is beyond pretty and am glad you now love the ring! My whole collection (diamonds and gemstones) cost less than that gorgeous ring. I wonder "If only I held out for that one special piece"......... But I am glad that you have found that special one. :)

Yay! :appl: :appl:

Considering your hot pink spinel, I don't think you would have been happy if the Sapphire was also a hot pink. Too much the same, same; potato, potato.

I think your pad is a delicate beautiful color, and as you know, is supposed to be the color of the lotus flower. Like this one:

Well, now that you decided to keep it, we need more pics. :naughty:
 
I am happy for you that you have made peace with your decision. As with TL, more pictures please!
