Is it just me, or are they all hideous?

The new setting is unnecessary. What got my attention though is that Harry Winston, dead since 1978, is still designing jewelry...

dear harry winston,

those three new settings you designed are really, really bad. they look like something i could buy at claire's, and i'm not even remotely kidding.

don't go changin'. please. for the love of all that is hopeful, don't change the hope. ever.

hopeful,
rednrowdy

@rednrowdy: No worries- it will be back to it's originlly setting next year. Consider it a mid-life crisis of sorts. Turn 50, shake it up a bit, freak everyone out, get some attention, then go back to your original setting.

The new designs are all hideous. If that's all you have to offer, just leave it as it is.

On second thought, I think it should be the center for T-Pain's new BIG ASS CHAIN.

The Hope Diamond is really the least impressive thing in their whole gem collection. (Now, the room before the Hope Diamond room -- THAT has some impressive rocks. An emerald the size of my fist! Sparkly things!)

And now, they want to take something underwhelming and make it look positively dated and ugly? *sigh*

@Etoiles: I agree. I liked the other things in the gem area much better.

Oh man, the second one has a kind of Judy Jetson thing going on with it. Can you imagine how people would react if they actually did that?

I think it should be set on Kate Winslet, reclining nude on a velvet couch.

@Yahtzii: Hey, I'm just glad I'm not the only person who can't see a big blue sparkly without thinking of Celine Dion. It's like a bizarre form of PTSD.

I thought you ladies were being over-critical, but good lord those are ugly. And they all have a very "dated" feeling to me, like they would have looked fantastic on Dynasty. The one it's in now is perfect; I adore that chain.

My favorite setting would pay homage to the earth... ya know, that planet that creates gems deep down inside over millions of years. Screw this opulent crapola.

All the new settings are beyond fug. What's wrong with the current setting? It's gorgeous! It's the kind of necklace little girls and Celine Dion dream of.
