I have a pear (1.08 carat) and I dont know what all the hype is about them catching. Mine never catches on anything
and it is set very high by most people's standards. Now that I think about it, it may be the way my setting is built. Its not a standard peg head that might be used for a lot of pears. The v-prong that goes on the point comes from a less curved angle then a regular peg head. I think this may be what keeps it from catching. My setting is somewhat vintage. See picture. I know we had a PSer that had a really large pear and she re-did her setting to something that would not catch so I'm thinking that the setting may be the key to solving the problem.

I had a 1.25ct pear and it never caught either. It was in a similar basket to the one posted above (set a bit lower). My original .15ct marquise diamond caught more, and it was the peg head I think that did it.

If you look at this link you will see something that is more of a peg head...see the second picture
http://www.stuller.com/products/1263/51906/?groupId=6410 Here is one that is built a little more like mine (see 4th picture over) http://www.stuller.com/products/438/230528/?groupId=19794 Edit - I guess I would say mine is more of a basket setting vs a peg setting. |

I have not had any problems with my setting for my pear.

I have a 3.78 Marquis, it is fairly wide and ovalish (at least to me it is) but still has points on the ends--anyway, I almost didn't buy it because things that catch and snag drive me nutso! But guess what? It has never once snagged and I wear lots of snag prone sweaters and clothing.
 my ring is low set, so maybe the height of the setting might make it tend to snag more?
