And speaking of pears, and 3 stone rings, are you sure your girl likes either/both of those? I only ask because those are very specific looks, and most women either like them or they don't. If you know she likes these, that's fine. But if not, I would suggest trying to find out if she does, or to be safe, go with a round solitaire. As for the one star rating, that means they don't have the stone on site, it's in a virtual inventory, and they will have to call it in, and run tests on it. If you do decide to go with a pear, I would make a specific thread in Rocky Talk, asking for help from "fancy" people. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

I got my pear from WF and I it. Call ahead or email with your budget, then they'll have time to put together some options. They're great to deal with.

Great! That's half the battle. Each setting has a short description, and in there, almost always it will tell what stones will fit, or say that it will accomodate any stone, if that's the case. To help give you an idea of what can be done with a Pear, here's the Pear thread. If you find more than one you like, you could always do another thread asking for opinions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N.

Not to worry! WF have excellent return and upgrade policies, so even if you buy a stone and are not entirely happy, you can swap it. I would def set up an appointment (if you are lukcy, Brian will be there to show you his amazing collection of sparklies). Bring you GF along and let her see some of the truly stunning stones they have and let her show you a few options. Then you could always purchase one later so you keep the suprise factor going? Good luck! I am so jealous that you are going to WF in person!!! I would give a kidney to spend a few hours locked away in that place!!!! Wedding Date Take 2: 26th November 2009!
