Ok another pear question.

I have recently knoticed that one pear I am considering has a thin, possibly very thin girdle near and around the tip of the pear shape. I know this is not considered very good, and may be a potential break point.

My question is, once it is set in a setting, assuming that it is successfully set, how likely is it to be chipped at that point, compared to say a pear with a medium girdle near and around the tip?

Is it considerably more likely to chip?

Does it matter if it is set by someone like Mark Morrell?

Thanks
Hope this helps!
