Didn't expect the setting to get any attention: the picture just made it look like not terribly fine work to me. Big too - whether that mght be to cover something up, or is just rounding up the contour of the very baroque pearl.
Otherwise, I'm not the one for 'simple' - things can be very detailed and very respectful of the pearl, IMO.
Btw: I'm wondering about te shape... there are two measurements given (as if for a symmetrical drop), but if the pearl would be as thik as wide, it would weigh even more. If the math is right, this one is flatish in shape. And that may explain the setting.
Don't mind the leaves (hoping they do not obscure the best patch of pearl - unlikely), just depends what kind... on a scale from
THIS to
THIS, say
IMO, complex pieces with baroque pearls appear to remain 'all about the pearl'. What do you think?
