Asscher setting - what would you do?

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined." Henry David Thoreau

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"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."

This is my 1.29 asscher in a Leon Mege 3-sided pave setting.

swingirl, I apologize. While I did pick lovey's because of the bonus in size, I failed to mention just how stunning your ring is. And it really is. I have just been terribly preoccupied lately and failed to say this, so please don't think your ring is a slouch, far from it.

May you live all the days of your life.

I didn't click on Ellen's link to see she already mentioned lovey's... it's just when I read the thread I was thinking, 'OH! Lovey's ring!' because it was one of the first settings I fell in love with. (note to self: click before you post ).

swingirl's is another gorgeous one! The pave work of Leon is just amazing and it perfectly suits the Asscher cut. I would love to see that ring in person... I'll bet it's even more stunning than it appears in the pics!
