Hi all! I am thinking about re-setting my OEC into something different... I don't think the setting its in right now really does the stone any justice. Its a very warm color (L/M), ao i'm not sure if it would look best in white gold, or rose. I was thinking one of these setting from LOGR, but I'm not for sure. What do you all think?

I am including a few pics of the current setting, with the band that I wear with it.

I think it looks pretty now. If you want to change it I would keep it simple. I love your band too.
 
I think it depends on if you want to play up the color so that it looks intentional or if you want to downplay it.

For playing up the color, a rose gold head with white diamond halo would look gorgeous in my opinion. On the other hand if you want to downplay the color a rose/yellow gold shank with a white gold head and no halo would help. That way the prongs won't add a tint to the diamond but having a contrasting color in the shank will make it appear whiter.

I do love your current setting, I was actually considering it myself.
 
Thanks for the comments! I do absolutely want to play up the color, its so rich and buttery! I'm still torn on what to do, I did want to keep it simple but it just seems TOO simple... I'm not even sure DH will let me change it since it was my push present.
 
I personally love the current setting too - I think it showcases the stone very well!
 
I love that setting as well! I am considering it for a new project. :wavey:
