tsavoritestar, ming, polished, andelain, canuk-gal, thecat, fancygems, mayk, arielleB, athenaworh: thank you for your kind words. Such great fun to celebrate jewelry homecoming moment together
missy: somehow tomorrow morphed into 'within an hour'
Not sure how I will cope though 
aprilbaby, angeline, sweet blossom: I love love love the caribbean sea. It always makes me calm and happy.
dk168: pff, me too I so hope I will love it in real life.
missbliss: the color is different till sofar on every picture, so I hope that I like what I will see in real life!
ally66: I think there is no single Paraiba in the Netherlands... Unless there is another PSer. I love Paraibas on photo's. Now hopefully I will be blown away when I see it in real life.
laila19: Excited is the word indeed
arkieb: thanks!!! And thank you for helping me to develop an eye for looking at CS stones. Somehow it's more complicated compared to diamonds
mom2boys: no idea!!! And well, since some people have multiple micro pave I guess I can wear multiple fc shanks . But this will not be an everyday ring like my OEC since I am hard on my hands.
brightice: thank you! Yours is getting close as well, isn't it. Can't wait to admire yours!!!
minousbijoux: I indeed have the intention to baby this ring!!
lknvrb4:thanks!! Are you still super happy with your new setting? It's gorgeous.
badabling: thank you for your sweet post. I will come back with pics soon.
sb621: yes, I adore her ring!!! Mine is perhaps a tiny baby sister of hers. But my ring was actually inspired by Missydebby's. Mine does not have the milgrain though. Thanks for the kind words.
niel: gutsy indeed. Sooo, I surely hope I love it once I see it, haha

Re: Paraiba sea glow and french cut waves - my Leon Mege rin
Thank you gemtastic!! I am still thrilled with my VC as well.
And... I have the ring on my finger
It has the most unbelievable blue I have ever seen. It has a different vibe depending on the light. I just cannot keep my eyes from the ring. The 2.07 stone is relatively small (compared to my 5.3 ct OEC that is ), but the colour has such impact. It will take a few hours before I can upload some iPhone pics . I have taken some but I cannot upload in the train unfortunately.
I also looooove the low setting. It is relatively low without being flat as a pancake like Leon told me upfront.
Will be back with picks!!

Re: Paraiba sea glow and french cut waves - my Leon Mege rin
This is one of my all time favourite PS rings. Just stunning!!!
SB621|1399982088|3671589 said:Beautiful! This actually reminds me a lot of Art Nouveau's gorgeous tourmaline LM ring. Her setting started the entire french cut crazy on PS or at least really added to it.

Re: Paraiba sea glow and french cut waves - my Leon Mege rin
Thank you Elliot86, Whoanelly, tyty, athenaeorth, derbygal, loverskites, diamondseeker, misskittykat and missy!!!
I so enjoy reading your posts.
misskittycat: that's the downside of large diamonds: it apparantly makes other stones shrink
I feel so flattered that SB compared Art Nouveau's ring with my little baby. Perhaps mine is Art Nouveau's and Missydebby's love baby
missy: thanks for enabling the pics
loverskites: the colour is so mesmerizing. And very hard to describe as it is different in different lighting. I am so glad I took the plunge.
athenaworth: This is definitely one of my forever rings.

- 2.07 ct
- 8.32 X 6.99 x 4.70 mm
-cushion
- cutting style crown: brilliant cut

The stone is heated
The stone has a window but which such a mesmerizing and unique stone it does not bother me at all.

Re: Paraiba sea glow and french cut waves - my Leon Mege rin
Specs for the setting:
- 95% platinum, 5% ruthenium, designed by Leon Mege, made by his bench
- Inspired by Missydebby's ring, but mine has a CS in the center and no milgrain.
- 12 high dome french cut diamonds on the sides, 0.6 ctw
- beautifully low set (I love Leon's aesthetic eye), but not low as a pancake
- delicate double claw prongs
- shank width: about 2.6 - 2.7 mm
Everything about the ring is just perfect!!

Re: Paraiba sea glow and french cut waves - my Leon Mege rin
Thank you gemmyblond!!! I just love frenchies for sidestones because of their subdued sparkle/glow.
pandabee: I thought upfront that 2 french cut rings could clash with each other but it doesn't. Because my OEC ring has a tapered shank, the rings look very different. Which means I can wear them together
Thanks catmom & virginia!!! The glow is indeed amazing. The jeweller in Antwerp (who handled with customs on my behalf) was also impressed about the stone.
