P.S. Oh, I forgot to mention that I will also have Moissanite available now. Hand selected for the minimum of greenish body color. These are slightly more expensive than the generic "stuff" that I have seen, but not by much. I suppose I could price it as a loss leader, but that is a poor way to stay in business as far as I am concerned so I won't. Pricing on individual pieces by request, as this is so new to me that I do not yet have a price list available. I ordered in two pieces to see and was VERY impressed with the quality versus the "junk" that I have seen in the past.
Aiyeeee!
Contrary to the lack of green, I'm interested in green! Are you able to order green stones from your supplier? The supplier for Mario at Bella, has no green radiants left, which is what I'd like to have... Hopefully you have a different supplier!!!

I would also like a quote on this ring with my 1.5 ct Asha Radiant and your traps in white gold, pave on all 3 sides of the ring. I would like the ring width to be 1.5mm - 2.5mm (max). I like very dainty rings. the ring size is 6.
What will be the price difference between pave on the basket and no pave on the basket?
Thank you.

Hey I see that quite a few of us have similar taste! 
Hi Wink, my Asha radiant is 9x7. I am interested in a quote of this ring in 14k white gold, size 4.5, with pave diamonds on basket and shank please!
And BTW, I would die anyday for this baby (pic below) but with the bezel head and bazillions of little diamonds it will probably cost quite a bit.  Oooh WTH, while you are at it, could you get a quote of it in white gold for 1ct center and .3-.5ct sides (for the setting itself only, not including the center or 2 side stones)? Thank you Sir!

what about this?  in plat for a 10mm stone?
(and yes I still want leon to do my ring )
And would you like me to have it made with small old Euros as shown, or would you like it with the more sparkley modern cut diamonds? I know places where I can source the small old Euro mele, but I don't think it is much cheaper than modern cut diamonds.

Wink, I've never ordered from you, so I don't know what your current bench can do vs. this one.
What about this ring? 
This is a beautiful ring and either of my benches "could" make it. It is not something that is in the public domain yet so I probably would make something similar rather than an exact copy. I believe that this is a copy writed design, rather than one that has been done many times before so I would be uncomfortable making this exactly. This is such a difficult line to walk so I usually go with what my gut tells me. When I see the same ring being made by many houses, then the ring is in public domain and I am quite comfortable making it.

FAPPLE HI!
WInk let me go back and reread that long post I got lost! =)
Where did I lose you dear lady, I do tend to go on a bit.
I hope I made it ABUNDANTLY clear that I will NOT be doing Mario copies. I have not met him yet, but he is obviously my kind of guy, quality product for fair prices. I am more interested in meeting him as a friend when the time comes and to helping him when I can and know that he will do the same. We have some common friends and I have already heard from a couple of them that he is saying nice things about my work, which of course warms my heart. You ladies deserve to have many good people doing work for you and I am pleased to be but one of them.

Would something in this style be possible?
Something like it yes! No exact copies of one of my other "Most Favored Competitors". Leon is a friend and a genius at what he does. He is not really a competitor as he prefers dealing with the trade and often deals with magnificent stones that I can only dream of dealing with here in Boise. I have access to the stones, but where oh where are my clients for these millions of dollars each stones???

Wow! So many wonderful rings, so many of them that I would have passed on before. I need for you now to all do one thing for me. Please send me your requests, nothing that I have seen yet that we can not do something similar to, and in that request for a quote please give me:
1. Picture of design you want.
2. Metal you want used
3. Stone sizes and types, ie like the great picture above with the top and side views and the stone sizes clearly spelled out. Do you want moissanites, CZ's, diamonds (recommended for the small mele, but I can get and use tiny mele cut Signity CZ's if you wish, and down to a certain size I can also use Moissanite if you wish.)
Please do not ask for elebenty seben quotes on one design with 14kt, 18kt platinum, CZ's, moissanites, diamonds, and imitation whatsits. Please ask for a quote in gold or platinum with Cz's, or if you are really trying to decide gold and platinum. The shorter you keep the list of questions, the more likely I can return a quote to you in a timely manner. The quote I return to you will be the full price, if you place the order before Jan 15 you will get a 20% discount.
4. Finger size. A size 9 does cost more than a size 6 so I need to know to give you an accurate quote.
5. Due date if less than 4 weeks. These rings take time and we may have to say no if the date is too close, but we may be able to accomodate you if the time is not too short or the job not too complex.
6. Also please let me know if you have the center stone or not so that I am not quoting you for something that you already have, or not quoting you if you need something that you do not have.
PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME A REQUEST FOR THE "XYZ" RING. There are often many versions of a ring with the same ring. I do not want you to order an antique Tiffany solitaire reproduction then discover that the antique Tiffany solitaire reproduction that we made is not the one you were thinking of.
The reason I ask you to send me this in an email is so that I can put your name on each request when I send the detail information to my bench. Your picture goes into a file folder with your name on it and you get your own threaded email to and from my bench so that I do not loose quotes the way that I used to. I just opened the new folder for 2005, there were several hundred subfolders in the 2004 custom design folder. No wonder I can not keep them all in my head any more...
