My mom has a 1 ct. pear diamond from her original engagement ring. She hasn't worn it in years, but would like to reset it - possibly into a necklace. Would it be possible to put a halo around the pear and set it as a pendant? Mom already has two right hand rings that she rotates, so I don't think she wants to reset it in a ring.

Any other ideas? Photos of pear pendants? Thanks!!

Yes indeed - it would be gorgeous!









Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be...

A halo would be gorgeous. This is my original ER pear, .96ct. WF set it with tiny little ACA's on the chain.

Here's mine.  It's an everyday (and not very good) pendant - so ignore the workmanship but this is just to illustrate how a pear can look in a very bad halo setting!  I bought the setting from a shopping network and the diamonds were ok so I took out the horrible central stone and replaced it with my diamond!

Not to hijack bling's thread - but I don't recall much of a thread on it - I think I just posted a few pics. But I took my 33 year old nasty spec's (!!!) pear
to WF for an update. Brian and I spent a little time together, I kinda had this design in mind and he drew it out for me. I wanted more swing from the pear,
it doesn't move much. The little ACA's are 10 pter's.

Oh, my! That is a very pretty necklace! Just yesterday I thought how nice a pear would look as a necklace... and started browsing Whiteflash for pears (I'd have to buy one... or have one given to me as a present... probably the former ). What a timely thread!! I didn't consider putting a delicate little halo around the stone, what a great idea. I'm a bit confused as to the size of the pear... does anyone have pics of diamond pendant necklaces on?, so I could get a sense for sizes? Just wondering.

Update: Never mind, mscushion, how about you do a simple search for "pear pendant" and find some delicious pics??? silly me.

It would be gorgeous in a pendant with a halo around it.
