Agree with others, please post a photo when you're able! I have purchased three (gulp) LE rings in the last couple of months. Thanks to this thread, I think I've made better decisions than if I was just going by official photos. Here's my Kate, which is probably my 3rd favorite of the rings. The stone is lovely and the cushion setting is so pretty and elegant, but the band seems thinner than my gold Meena and Isabella rings. It's probably only visible to me, but I notice it--it feels different on my finger, if that makes sense.View attachment 4559902

The Kate is so mysterious to me. Sometimes, it seems like it doesn't have enough colors and in photos like yours it is so deep in color, blink and you miss it kind of thing. It looks to be same with the Betty. I'm on the fence about these.

I know what you mean, that exact thought kept me from getting the Betty for a long time. I can't speak to Kate, I don't have that one, but the Betty's saturation is quite faint. In other words, it shines like a pale Aquamarine, not something strong like a Amethyst or even a pale citrine. To be happy with the Betty, you have to find Aquamarines (and similar stones) and their pale pallor attractive. :)

I think it all depends on the lighting. In my photo, I was standing next to a bay window. In general it's a light stone, but in certain lighting (and not always natural lighting), it gains some depth.

Anyone else waiting impatiently for the new, smaller ring launch? I was told that it has been delayed. I have no business buying another LE ring, even if it's at a lower price point, but I am super curious to see what they look like.

Just read this on LE's Instagram last night: "I have smaller rings coming in November , they are still solid silver and 18ct gold fine jewellery but they do have a lower starting price . Next year there are smaller earrings too ;) xxx"

Hey everyone! I have a question, does anyone know how to clean the silver rings? Mine is not shiny anymore and I would like to clean it with that baking soda and tin method but I am afraid it will damage the stone. I have a Kate silver one! I saw Lisa’s video on cleaning the rings but I think soap and water won’t do the trick

Hi, I also have a Kate (cushion cut) but haven't needed to clean it yet. I'd start with Lisa's method even if you think it won't help. Then, if the ring's shine still hasn't come back, use a silver polishing cloth on a part of the band that's not as visible. (I polish my silver bands with this kind of cloth and it always works.) Also, I've found the shop to be amazingly responsive, so you could ask for their advice via the website.

I have a fair amount of silver jewelry that I clean regularly. First, I would stay away from the baking soda and tin method. Unless it’s severely tarnished, that method should be saved for last.

I always start off with gentle dishwasher soap. I dismissed this method for years but once I tried it, realized it does wonders for polishing up silver. For a prasolite, this method should be safe. It would also get the prasolite back to a really shiny state.

If the silver is very tarnished a gentle silver polish will make it shiny again. I like Wright’s silver polish. Recommended to me by Me & Ro and it’s pretty good.

Great! Thank you! I will try the soap and water method first. It’s just the silver that has a yellowish stain to it. I haven’t really used the ring- it’s just kept too long inside the box I guess.
