Last one! Please excuse my nails, I need a manicure and I have very unphotogenic hands! Also my fingers are swollen and I have never had this problem before, go figure!

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!

I''m upgrading right now too... and I too have very unphotogenic hands

So glad you got your rings in time for your anniversary!!! Happy tenth! What a milestone!

Thanks! Oh yes, I saw your work up in silver, your rings are going to be gorgeous! I''m glad I''m not the only one with unphotogenic hands!

I think a wide angle lens and proper hand posing could possibly help.

 

[heb1976]

You gals are just too sweet! After looking at all of your gorgeous beauties it really means a lot to receive such kind comments!

 

[Boom]

Congratulations!! Your ring is gorgeous!

Beautiful Leon ring!

 

[darling]

It really is beautiful.
Since you have diamonds at the bottom of the basket (is there a better word for that part ?), did Leon say it was O.K. to wear a wedding band with the ring?

 

[Snooper]

WOW! Thanks for telling me what the style was!!! It looks unbelievably gorgeous!!! Did I miss how wide the bands were? Congrats on a beautiful set and engagement!!!

Hi, thanks! He does not recommend that you wear both together and if you do not very often. I forgot to specify not to put any diamonds there, doh!

Anyway, I will keep a watch for damage and maybe get a 1mm spacer band.

 

[heb1976]

Hi Snooper, thanks for all the sweet compliments! I forgot to ask Leon about the shank width! When we went over my ring details I specified 1.6mm-1.8mm for the bands with the halo the same width. So they''re no more than 1.8mm but may be a little thinner.

 

[Snooper]

That''s what I was thinking 1.6-1.8 tops. Not to hijack your thread but your style of halo and the mushroom set one (forget the style) were ones I was considering for a project. But I''m pretty sure I''ll get yours having ''seen'' it! So thank YOU

I have a question about your beautiful wedding set...I looked at your other thread. It seems as if Leon made the rings to be worn together. Do you find that there is not much of a gap? If the head was set a bit hgher, would the wedding band sit flush? He did such fine work with your rings. This is the way I like to see a halo. It enhances the stone without overwhelming it. Wear it well

Hi Risingsun, Thanks for your kind words. There is only a small (1mm-1.5mm) gap between my rings. I wanted a flush fit at first but realized I personally like a gap. I think he can set the diamond higher with no gallery and the bands would be flush. The style I believe is called "capuchonne". Search his site for that and it will give you pictures of what it looks like. FYI, If I were to do it over I would not have had diamonds in the gallery so it wouldn''t possibly damage the wedding band. I''m considering having a 1mm spacer band made. Hope this helped!

Not sure if I commented on this one yet but I''d like to add that the ring is very tastefully done. The designer elements compliment the center stone and yet are subtle enough not to detract from from the style. And you''ve got a size that looks classy on your hand. Kudos to a great work of wearable art!

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the profile of your e-ring - it''s stunning! Congratulations on 10 years!

Another gorgeous Leon! Heb, congratulations on such a beautiful 10th Anniversary upgrade! How wide are your bands? I have wanted a shared prong setting for my upgrade but am picky about how it looks from the side. I really like how Leon has done yours.

Again, congratulations on the ring and 10 years of marriage!
