purrfectpear Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,696 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 3/31/2008	I recently purchased an emerald cut H, VVS2, 1.54, 7.91 x 5.98 x 3.60. After being used to a 12.12mm pear it looks a little on the small side so I think I want to either halo it, or add traps to add some size. I'll probably wear it on my pinkie finger, right hand (aprox. size 6). I'll post some possibilities in separate posts since I can't figure out how to add them to a single post.

I saw a gal when before I moved jobs, who wore her emerald cut pendant e/w... it was the most stunning way I've ever seen it worn.

Which are your favorites, and feel free to add other EC settings you love. "Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say and not giving a damn." -Gore Vidal

purrfectpear Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,696 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 3/31/2008	I did look at the Knox cielos. I like the double shank, EC set in rose gold with pink diamonds. Then I thought, uhhhhh maybe I like traps. I'm so frickin undecided. It's a fabulously good diamond so it deserves something special though I don't think I want to invest more than $6K or so in a setting.

joflier Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,692 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 10/2/2007	I like Leon's east/west.....it's not too overstated which I think would look good for a pinky ring.

Deelight Ideal Rock Total Posts: 5,078 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 10/4/2007	For a pinkie ring an E-W setting for me would win hands down I think in terms of comfort and looks it would just work so well. I really like this LM but I would do double claws on the centre stone http://www.artofplatinum.com/4images/details.php?image_id=379 __________________________________________________________ Sometimes if your really lucky all your dreams do come true ...............

babysteps Ideal Rock Total Posts: 597 Last Post: 8/18/2009 Member Since: 2/13/2008	The GOG precision set is actually my favorite overall but for a pinky ring I think I might like the EW setting more. I love the top down view on each of the setting by Knox but the profile is a little bulky I think, esp. on a small finger. What a beautiful EC and fun project!

Miranda Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,042 Last Post: 9/24/2009 Member Since: 2/18/2006	Well I'm no help! I like all the settings you posted. If I had to pick I think I'd go with the Leon. Do you think it would be to wide for a pinky, though? Hmmmm...I wonder if a n/s orientation would be better than e/w for a pinky.

Oooohhh...maybe with a trap on either side instead of the band continuing up towards the stone...custom setting ala Leon? Can you see it?

Isn't it to die for? I believe it was from Fay Cullen. I like that alot, thank you. Liz C does create some pretty rings, but my idea of long distance is NYC. Singapore is a bit too far for me The Maevona is interesting. I think I'm not really the organic type though. The other Durnell seems to bulky too me with the shank running across the middle. My style is either classic, art deco, or vintage. At least I think so Since I have chubby fingers (ring finger 8.5, pinky 6.0) I'm not too concerned about the width of the rings. East-West should fit OK since it's only 1.54. I wish I had a diamond large enough to be worried about too much width "Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say and not giving a damn." -Gore Vidal
