Diamondine Rings

It recently came to my attention that diamondine earings and rings are not equal.

Earing:
Magic Item
Slot: Ear
AC: 8
HP: +50 MANA: +50
SV FIRE: +15 SV DISEASE: +15 SV COLD: +15 SV MAGIC: +15 SV POISON: +15
Weight: 0.1 Size: Tiny
Class: ALL
Race: ALL

Ring:
MAGIC ITEM
Slot: FINGERS
AC: 6
HP: +40 MANA: +40
SV FIRE: +12 SV DISEASE: +12 SV COLD: +12 SV MAGIC: +12 SV POISON: +12
Weight: 0.1 Size: Tiny
Class: ALL
Race: ALL

Given the difficulty of producing these, and the fact that they both require the same ingredients to make, could the rings be raised to the same stats as the earings?
 
Or maybe they'll lower the earrings down to match the rings, and you'll get flamed off the forums! :D
 
I believe the rings are lower simply because you can have two of them. That's usually the case in necklaces versus finger wear.

He is comparing the earrings and rings (both of which have 2 equipment slots.

Is there a price difference between earring and ring molds?
 
I completely agree with this post.

There isn't a reason why the earrings and rings shouldn't be the same stats, because they require the same components and the same level of difficulty to make.

Given the lameness of farming the components, I would be inclined to think that the ring would be brought up to the level of the earring rather than the earring be lowered.

If changes are made, I imagine the rings would be raised or the two would be brought to some midpoint. Similarity would be in line with the jade and fire opal pieces, which have the same stats for rings and earrings. And for my part I'd be inclined to agree, bringing the rings up to match the earrings, at least in HP and mana, would seem appropriate. It takes a lot of time and effort to get the supplies for these, to say nothing of the failures that occur even at 250 skill.
 
Rings are easier to combine. Earrings fail more.

This is a special case with diamondine, but diamondine is a pretty special case in general.
