Ladies.....an update!
I've heard back from Leon's team & while they are wonderful, I have decided to have the halo made/set by my local jeweller. They will use the platinum from my current setting & that will keep the cost down.
They are making a setting for me based on the photos I sent them. What I want are double claw prongs and pave set 3/4 down the shank. The band will be very much like the Adrianna by Leon, only NO pave on the prongs.
My ring will also be 2mm as micropave is very fragile and I want to be able to wear this ring everyday.
So.....the deal is, I get to "see" the setting once it's made (I'm guessing a week?) and if I approve of it and love it, it's a GO!
IF for whatever reason, I'm not thrilled, I can have them tweak it re-make me something I love OR.......go to Leon!
I'm confident my jeweller will have the bench worker make me something fabulous. I SO want a Leon ring, but I think remaining local gives me more control and if something goes wrong in the future, I don't have far to travel.
Hope I've made the right decision. I'm VERY excited!
