contest for new hope diamond setting

I read here that to celebrate the Smithsonian's 50th anniversary of the acquisition of the Hope Diamond, the museum is placing the diamond in a new setting. You can vote online and choose between three setting options (voting ends September 7th).

The diamond then will be placed in the winning setting and displayed until the end of the year. In late 2010, the Hope Diamond will go back to its original Harry Winston setting.

Pretty fun contest, huh? I voted for this setting on the right. Which one did you vote for?

I voted for the same setting as you.

But I am SO glad that it is not a permanent change ... that would just seem wrong some how (but I think it is fun since it's just a temporary thing).

Same one you did. It shows off the stone better!
