well imagine my delight when FedEx (it wasn''t UPS, whoops) arrived on SATURDAY morning with my package (was expecting it friday by 10:30 but with snow and holiday deliveries....). i was so happy to see him and thanked him a million times - he said ''well at least we made someone happy!'' which made me feel bad. these guys are working crazy hours and i can only imagine the grief they are getting cuz packages are late. i understand, some truly are time-sensitive and even though mine was next-day delivery, it was by no means a matter of life and death. anyway, i digress.

the band is 1.5mm thin, full eternity with .35ctw of full cut diamonds (56 diamonds, i believe, size 6.25), F-G color, VS clarity. there is one little buggar that stands out - i noticed him right away - which might be why this band made its way to his ''items for sale.'' at any rate, i actually like this little diamond that stands out (it''s darker. i''m hoping santa brings me the loupe i asked for so i can see if it''s an inclusion or what). i think i like it because it''s a placemarker, it''s kind of like ''hey, there you are!'' when he spins around to say hello. and the very cheesy part of me likens him to my hubby who also stands out amoung the many. again, i digress. i LOVE it, it completes my set and now i am really over-the-moon. ''course the pics don''t capture all the fire and sparkling going on, but woo-wee!

THANK YOU to all who responded to my DH''s post about this band, and to all who encouraged my DH to go for it. i''m not usually one who can buy things like this sight unseen with no return policy, but this time my instincts were right on and i could not be happier with this band!

Happy Holidays everyone!!
 
Oh, very pretty! I like how thin and delicate it looks!

Wear in good health always! Be sure to give DH some brownie points for this one..
 
Beautiful; I love it!!!
 
That is beautiful! It goes perfectly with your ring. Wear it in good health!

It looks really good on your hand and with your ering. I love how thin it is but since Leon''s quality is very good it''s not flimsy. Beautiful band!
 
Yay it arrived after all. Looks awesome, enjoy!!! And tell your hubby you were right in geting it, hehe!!!

Gorgeous! I''m glad it made it to you! It looks great with your ring.
 
How beautiful is that? It looks great with your ering!
 
Yay! I''m so excited for you! It looks fab....you must be over the moon to own a Leon, I know I would be! Love it

thank you HeartingDiamonds (MAJOR brownie points!), Skippy, KimberlyH, sera (you''re right, it is not flimsy at all. in fact, it''s even less so than i thought it would be), Kaleigh (i will!), thing2of2, and DiamanteBlu!!

it is certainly a very different look, pairing a bold ering with a teeny tiny band. i''m sure it looks odd to many, and it''s not what i ever imagined i would end up with when i set out to reset and update, yet i am smitten with it. my tastes and awareness evolved and broadened drastically because of PS, so another big thank you is in order to all those involved in starting it, running it, and contributing to it!!

thanks steph! we were posting at the same time, didn''t mean to leave you out!
 
Oh my oh my oh my!! Love the story! Love that your love your deliveryman and he knows it! Love that you love your DH! Love the little buggar! (otherwise there would be no beginning) Love your enthusiasm!

Oh I almost forgot...I LOVE THE RING!!!

Wow, looks wonderful! I think they look great together. I am jelly too, a Leon! I would love something from him... *sigh*....

Congratulations, and I don''t think I have ever read your thread on your e-ring, it is GORGEOUS! I''m off to look for it now!
 
simply gorgeous. It reminds me of my ering, which will look similar with the band. I''ve gone through three bands already, trying to decide the perfect one for my ring. That''s beautiful, I wish I''d seen those!!
 
Your band and e-ring are absolutely beautiful!!!!!! They match so well with one another. Congrats!!!
 
Absolutely stunning! I love what you said about the darker diamond, precious.
 
It''s beautiful. I love the pairing of the bolder e-ring with the dainty w-band. Very nice!
 
thank you everyone!! i must admit, i love the band just for itself, but knowing it is a leon gives me a little kick too!

tberube - i can't wait to see what you end up with! i love halos around a step cut, yours is especially pretty. i thought i had been keeping up with your posts, but maybe i missed postings of it with the different bands? i'm going to look into that now.....

SandDiegoLady - LOL, that emoticon made me chuckle! come to think of it, it kinda looks like me.... really happy.... little bit crazy.....
