Setting help for my new K stone please!

"It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds."

-Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State



John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880

"There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things....

The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

well given that you already know that anything lower than G willjust be YELLOW *hiss*...i like seeing the stone from the side a little...my J shows a little color but i like seeing the stone side view from time to time. so i wouldn't try to cover it all up. 8 prongs would be pretty i think if they were done extremely tiny (handmade most likely?)...one of the things i have always thought would be amazing in a ring head is WF's 8 prong earrings. i asked brian once about making that into a ring...i don't remember what he said but something like it was too delicate for a head...but maybe they can beef it up a little, and i'd make it cathedral style with very thin shoulders coming up to meet the head...leaving room for a wband to sit snugly next to it. for me personally i am kind of over the whole 'head slapped on' kind of thing, maybe because that's what my ring makes me think of all the time, even though i like it, so i'm more into the 'integrated' head kind of thing. my friend just got a beautiful 1.2c ACA princess in the legato sleek line (so a super thin cathedral shouldered plat ring with lynn's scalloped head) and it's BEAUTIFUL in pictures (he hasn't proposed yet). and it's not that expensive either.

food for thought... have you thought about doing a 3 stone? i know you are after 'max presence' on the hand kind of thing and i think that would really impress you bling wise. with that 2.4c stone you could do .6's on each side and really knock it out of the park...it'd be amazing.

if all else fails, pack up that baby and send it to me, my neck is cold.

(oh and just to clarify for any unsuspecting lurkers or newbies reading this, the yellow thing was a funny...obviously as a proud owner of a J...i don't think lower colors are yellow. or even creme.)

How dare you buy that diamond right out from under me! I've secretly wanted it ever since I saw 3hearts' 2.5 carat K ES even though I can't afford it! Seriously though, congratulations! That is a GORGEOUS and GINORMOUS diamond!

As for setting that baby, I vote for a setting a la Lynn B. Her setting is sooooo gorgeous! I do like the Michael Barin setting, but Lynn B's has just been one of my faves ever since I saw it!

I can't wait to find out what you do!

Hi, KT! That is a beautiful diamond and I love the BR-18 setting. Of course, Lynn B's setting is just as nice. I have always loved her setting. You certainly have good taste in settings and in diamonds.
