EC Reset, Down to Two settings

purrfectpear Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,706 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 3/31/2008	This will be a reset of a 1.54 Emerald cut H, VVS2 for a fun pinky ring. I'm trying to decide between a classic Leon Mege 3 stone setting, and this Hidalgo pave I just found. Which would you pick? Price not a factor as they're both within budget.

Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn

Ellen Ideal Rock Total Posts: 22,894 Last Post: 11/6/2009 Member Since: 1/13/2006	I'd say it depends on what look you're after. The first would be a little more flashy and fun, with not quite so much attention on the EC. The Leon is more understated and elegant, with more emphasis on the EC. Both would be pretty, my personal preference would be the Leon. ETA Forgot this was a pinky ring, the first would probably be more appropriate.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "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."

laurel25 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 800 Last Post: 9/16/2009 Member Since: 5/8/2008	I love Leon's settings, but for a pinky ring, I've got to go with the Hidalgo. If the ring were for any other finger though, I'd vote Leon. I just don't personally care for the classic look of a 3-stone ring as a pinky ring.

*vitadolce** Ideal Rock Total Posts: 764 Last Post: 3/9/2009 Member Since: 7/15/2008	i love the leon, but i think the other ring is more appropriate for a pinky. (though 1.54 may be too much on a pinky ring either way, maybe you should try something of comparable size on before you commit to either.) *and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart... i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart) ~e.e. cummings

(though 1.54 may be too much on a pinky ring either way, maybe you should try something of comparable size on before you commit to either.) I have chubby fingers I wear an 8 ring finger, and a 6ish on my pinky. I can only envy those teensy fingered women. I wish someone carried the Hidalgo so I could see it. The only vendor I found after an extensive online search is Bill Barnes. Does anyone know of a PS vendor who carries Hidalgo?
