Antique Stone with Modern Setting?

[FacetFire]

Hi all, I''m new to the board. Everyone here seems so helpful, so I thought I might get your opinion on something. I''m considering setting an OEC into a more modern setting, but I can''t decide if it might look too odd and inconsistant. What do you guys think? Is it just too weird to put an antique stone into a setting with modern lines? My problem seems to be that I prefer antique stones but also prefer settings with cleaner lines. Thanks in advance for your opinions!

In my opinion..., YES, you can use a OEC with any setting..., (its a matter of taste!!!)

There are plenty of "clean lines" in antique settings..., you just have to look...

good luck,
