Just browsing the other day in a local B&M with my FI and we saw several gorgeous pears (including a 2.05 carat D IF that while larger then we like in a ring was breathtaking
), that got me to wondering and planning (it may be a few decades but nothing wrong with thinking ahead
) so I browsed arround awhile looking for info on pears. Besides the AGS cut charts there doesn''t seem to be a whole lot of information in general about choosing fancy cuts, or pears in particular at least compared to how easy it was to research rounds when I started this whole obsession last year.
I was wondering what the experts here consider the important things to look for. Or for any advice from knowledgable consumers who have bought pears of your own.
Why is the ratio spectrum 1.5 - 1.75 on the cut charts but I have seen people on the forum here advise between 1.4-1.5? Is there a way to tell how square vs. round the top is and how pointy the tip is from the standard dimesions listed? The charts list a crown hieght % but I haven''t seen that data given for any of the diamonds listed, would that be availible from a sarin report? How important is it? It seems from what I have read that the bowtie effect isn''t neccisarily a negative thing more of a personal prefrence on whether you like the effect or not, is this true, or is there a reason to hope for a small to no bowtie?
Thanks
