For that scenario to work you need to have a spare ST key and prismatic scale to burn but also not 255 buffed stamina (as a warrior even).
ST Key? I am using https://wiki.project1999.com/Earring_of_Essence the 30 HP 10 MR Earring from Droga. I was not using https://wiki.project1999.com/Essence_Pearl . The names both have the word Essence, so I understand why you thought of the Essence Lens quest.

I was aggregating the stats of wearing 2 earring for each comparison:

Remember that many people use HP/STA earrings already, so the HP gains from 2x loops aren't as big as you think.

Lets compare 2x Hammered Golden Loop to Pearly Sarnak Bauble + Earring of Essence:

1. 150 HP, 16 STA, -30 AC, and 10 MR
2. 65 HP, 10 STA, 2 AC, and 10 MR

You are trading 32 AC for 85 HP and 6 STA. A 60 Warrior that isn't STA capped would be getting 121 HP at best. So you are trading 32 AC (a breastplate's worth of AC) for 121 Max HP, which is a little less than 1 max hit from a mob.
