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.

So pretty! What size is your ring? (carat and finger) if you don't mind me asking ( so specifically! Haha)

I do love cushions. What I love about the heidy ( I think that's what it's called) is that you get great finger coverage. So I wonder if he could make the band thinner (1.8 maybe?) have the basket like the 811, and leave the halo... I think that would be amazing! I even like the double claw look...

I looked at cushions originally when I got the pear, in the end our friend got engaged with a cushion/halo and I didn't want to have the same thing. There's something so regal and romantic looking about a cushion! My pear is 2.56ct but faces up large, it measures a 3ct on the comparison chart. It's not shallow so I have no idea how that worked out! The side stones are .65 each. I wear a size 5 but got a 5.25 because I can't stand tight rings. I got sizing beads to help with the spinning.
Oh and I adore double claw prongs!! Especially with a cushion!

So beautiful! I think we might have to look into going to new York. We're in Toronto, and we should probably fly there ( but I'm terrified of flying!!) so we might drive. I'll wait to see what he emails us back. I love the 811, but probably only in 3 carats. So the other one will help bring out its size I think.

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?

I would care a little less about size and more about the stone's quality. A 2 carat will still look big on a size 5 finger

But! I do love how unique a pear with a halo would be!

You are driving yourself crazy girl. I think you should let your boyfriend handle it. Tell him what specs are your minimum, the type of style, and let him go from there. IMO part of the excitement is leaving some of the ring to be a surprise. It's not as fun to pick everything yourself. Save that for an upgrade

I do agree about the quality, that's what we were just talking about. And we can probably get ( I'd like) a D vs1 or vvs2 2- 2.3 carats. We emailed Leon to see if it's even possible and then I'll leave it alone. I think I'm a 4.75, but we'll have to see. He's also hinting by the end of June!! :D

IMO, I wouldn't get a D in color. I have an F and it looks colorless...and that will either save you $ or allow for an increase in size. Even an E would help with that
