The new setting they are thinking of is sooooo old fashioned. I like the old setting better.

I wonder what they're going to do with the diamonds in the old setting...any one of them would make a honking solitaire!!

I know, Mrs. Mike. It looks Art Deco-ish to me and a bit busy for me. The old mounting is much more classic. But doesn't it look beautiful unmounted? My hands would've been shaking holding that diamond! Probably would've fallen over in my chair and crushed it. Can you imagine?

Thanks for the link MGR! Here are a couple of pics for fun! One of my favorite stories about the Hope Diamond is when Mrs. McLean owned it and let her Great Dane wear it, supposedly she had a wacky sense of humor!
