So I'm just wondering what everyone thinks about Leon's 811 and the heidy ring? I like how delicate the 811 is, but I also like the other one. I think it would look larger over all, but is still delicate. I would want the basket( well the prongs etc) to be like the 811, so I emailed to see if it's possible. I would rather it not be the cathedral type of band. Does anyone have any input or any other styles of his that might work?

It's pretty definite. I don't think I like it on me anymore. I think that the double halo makes the center stone look smaller. It gets swallowed up I think.

I haven't been able to really see the 811 in a 2 carat on someone's hand near a size 5. I just wonder if it will look a little bit small? The other one, which I saw in the Leon thread on here looks huge and absurdly gorgeous. I have a picture of another persons as well that I found. Here is the link to the ring on his site, http://artofplatinum.com/vault/inde...ge=flypage.tpl&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1

I just wouldn't want it to be a cathedral and I really hate the basket... I think that's what it's called anyways. I like the delicate prong type basket the 811 has! Here is the picture. I think it's about 2 carats

Ok so I'm going to throw this out there as well: what about a pear or round? http://www.pricescope.com/forum/show-me-the-ring/leon-mege-811-adrianna-rb-halo-ring-t154967-90.html
 
She had one of her own that was identical. I think her moms is still intact, hers was remade by other jewelers bec she wasn't happy with them. They weren't perfectly aligned and symmetrical and at the right angle for her liking. When she did side by sides with all three you could see the difference.

Hmmm I'm just trying to figure out shape for the center stone. I won't be able to try them on myself :( I might go to Tiffany's strictly to look at carat size

Those comparisons lead me to call Victor. I liked his work the best out of them all. I would def choose him to make my custom. It was gorgeous! I saw little metal and I like that is was all hand made. Rare to see today.
 
HI Rogersa

I do agree with you about the Soleste...it is STUNNING but I think a solitaire or the delicate halo style for an engagement ring is a good/classic choice.

I agree with you about the links you have posted. Defo go and try the round/pear on again?

I do like the cushion, my absolute dream would be to have a 3 carat. I've seen some si1s that look really good. So wondering if that would be a possibility. Otherwise we'll be getting a 2 carat. Does anyone know any links to 2 carat cushion erings?

The 811 is a stunning ring! I have never seen a ring by Leon that I didn't find gorgeous, from simple solitaires to the fanciest of pave work. Anyway, did you say PEAR?? I have a pear! I love a pear! I really struggled with whether or not to put it in a halo, I think it is one of the prettiest shapes with a halo. In the end I didn't, I opted for a 3 stone. I get great finger coverage that way too. Now mine was an upgrade, had I been a new bride I would have gone with the halo. I thought the 3 stone was more appropriate for an anniversary. I love a pear in a halo so much I would love to get a colored gemstone ring as a rhr.
