2.61 pear need advice from the professionals

[95viper]

I''ve been reading everything I can find and am trusting the advice from this site. I have a Whiteflash pear from Bob on hold and ready to be sent to Mark Morrell. What is your professional opinion before I spend more than I did for a car? I''m trying to figure out how to attach the Idealscope pictures. Thanks, Craig

Don''t mean to exclude anyone with the professional statement. I''ll take advice from anyone here. You are bound to know more than I do regarding these pictures.

Welcome to PS Viper..., (great rocket)

A regular image of the Diamond would help..., When it comes to SI''s..., I would (as a buyer) want to know what makes the SI grade???
Is it a black/white SI? The position? A copy of the grading report would help too...

Anyway..., it''s got what we call in pro-language a french culet pavilion arrangement... (4 mains...) some people love it, some prefer a 8 main pavilion.
I personally think the Diamond could be an amazing one (based on the limited info.)

One thing is for certain..., its one of the more sought-after items these days..., a 2.61 carat E colored pear. (especially if the SI is a smart "eye-clean" one)!

Good luck,

Thanks for the advice DiaGem. Here is the other picture from WF. I''ll post the GIA report too. Bob tells me it is a eyeclean SI1.

The GIA is 15300508. I''ll ty to attach.

Well I''m not a pro, but I think it''s gorgeous! Judging by the very few pear idealscopes I''ve seen around here lately, that one looks to be good for a pear, in my non-expert opinion. And after seeing the real photo of the stone, I know I''d take that one in a heartbeat! If you do get it, what type of setting are you thinking about? Inquiring minds want to know!

Non pro here as well, but that''s a beautiful pear. I know there''ll never be a mostly red IScope pear picture and getting blue to show up on the ASET is near impossible.

Looks good. (period)

OK...it is on order. Getting the cash ready to wire. I am going with a Mark Morrell ring very similar to the traditional 3 stone cushion cut one on his website. Picture a pear in place of the cushion though. I''m also having a band made 1/2 the width of the ring that is basically a dup of the ring but skinny. It will fit tight to the ring. Mark and I will meet next week and finalize everything.

I am probably the farthest thing away from a professional but I wanted to tell you that the rock looks gorgeous! I don''t think ANYONE would/could be unhappy receiving that! Please be sure to post pics once it''s all done!

Wow-stunning!!! Is it me or have we seen more pears lately? In any case, this one looks beautiful and I really like the color/clarity combo. I''m sure the MM setting will be amazing, too-please come back with pics!

Pears (especially in pairs

) are extremely sought after these days...
And the high quality ones are just not around so much...

Isn''t that true. I wanted around a 2.5ct. D-F pear. My problem was that I like the look of a 1.6''ish length to width and also near 60% depth. This REALLY narrowed down my choices. Bob at Whiteflash rocks though and he found one. Of course, it was 5K more than I wanted to spend when I started this but it is one heck of a lot more of a pear than I was searching for.

Good pear''s are hard to find.

It's a stunner, can't wait to see it in a Mark Morrell setting.

Promise to come back with tons of pics for us??

It''s been hard trying to find a pear. I settled on a .50 although I wanted bigger and fatter. My length to width is 1.41. And my stone is VVS, all though I would have liked an eye-clean SI.

Wowee!!! I go away for 2 days on work and almost miss this thread! I see you''ve already made your decision, and I think it''s a good one - that pear looks gorgeous!!
