Made some changes with the help of Leon Megé

[pixgirl]

Back in 2013 I had a ring made at Leon Megé, where I purchased my 2.01 ct. H VVS2 cushion. I loved the diamond and really loved the setting, but began to think that perhaps a solitaire better suited my diamond. I also felt that the Mon Cheri setting really cried out for a colored stone.

Here is the before, the after (solitaire) and the Mon Cheri with a sapphire that I purchased from Leon.

Rachel and Leon were a pleasure to work with again.

Gosh, what a transformation to the diamond & what stunning rings! The sapphire definitely looks perfect in that setting, and the diamond looks so much bigger alone! Love the double claws

And the sapphire in the old setting is stunning. What a GREAT choice.

Definitely a great transformation on both rings! The cushion really pops as a solitaire and the sapphire really shows up in the diamond ring. Beautiful!
