Bad experiences with pointed diamonds?

AlyceC Rough Rock Total Posts: 56 Last Post: 1/8/2009 Member Since: 11/10/2005	While my BF has yet to officially pop the question, I have started looking into diamonds and settings for when the time is right. From a practical standpoint, I don't want to get my ring caught on fabrics or injure anyone (my BF's mother used to cut him with her marquise before she had it reset in a lower setting). Does anyone with a marquise or pear center stone or pear sidestones have any warnings or recommendations? I would appreciate any input!

I've only had it for a few days, but I don't see how I could possibly cut myself with it. The head has a v-tip that protects the tip of the pear (and the skin of those around me!) and I think it's great. I don't anticipate it being a problem. That being said, my friend has a 2ct. marquise that doesn't have a v-tip prongs. She regularily tears paper while filing in the cabinet. Hope this helps CFemme

DiamondLil Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,405 Last Post: 6/1/2006 Member Since: 6/8/2003	Alyce, I have a pear and had a marquise before this upgrade. The only tme my e-rings were a problem as far as scratching things or getting caught on things is when I had my children. Trying to diaper a squirming baby with a pointy e-ring is not a good thing. Other than that, my point does not seem to get caught on things any more than I think a prong-set round stone would. I mean, if you are putting your arm through a loosely woeven sweater, any ring is going to get caught whether is has a point or not. I agree with Gary. If you get a pointy stone, make sure it is protected by a V tip, especailly if it is a ring you are going to wear daily.
