I love it! I also love your cuprian ring too! It's so nice to see these old pears in totally unique original settings. When I was looking for settings for mine, they all seemed to be the same -halo, split shank, a three stone or a tip-pronged solitaire. This one is so unique!
Thanks, lorrissey! I loved your reaction when you saw it.
Thank you pintobean and HS4S!
lilysweet - thank you! I wouldn't call myself creative, I just know what I like, and am lucky to have found "my people" who can figure out what I'm trying to say and put it on paper/CAD.
Rfisher - thanks, I love the culet, too! I'd say I came up with the general idea, couldn't have done the overall design without DK and Elle, though.
Rockinruby - thank you! I truly love it from all angles. Elle taught me about tilted haloes for this one - who knew???
LLJsmom - woo hoo! Think it can sprout me a money tree so I can set all my other stones?
Enerchi - thanks! Sorry we missed you at the GTG this year.
Thanks, Ally66 and msop04!
Queenie60 - thank you! I'm historically not a fan of pears at all, but I've been bitten by the bug this past year. I've set two now, and have a big pear tsavorite to go!
lovedogs - thanks, and agreed, they really are a great team.
diamondseeker - thank you! I was pretty nervous about "meeting" it in person, having not even seen the stone before it was set. But I think it turned out okay, too.
Thanks, SparklySoprano, Fulvia, and marym!
JDDN - thanks! DK's milgrain is amazing.
AlexT - thank you! It reminded me a little of soft serve ice cream when I first saw the CADs. lol
Thanks, artdecolover, missy, kathley, DeeJay, AW (wish you could post yours, too - holy amazeballs), Fancygems, motownmama, and tyty333!
soxfan - thanks! Agreed, I saw a lot of the same thing when I was searching for designs, I almost went for a very basic halo but then kept looking. Have you decided how to set yours, then? I'm sorry, I haven't been on PS as much lately, it's been a crazy several weeks.
