From JA inquiry, feedback on an oval and a pear. I love the idea of a pear, but if there's a significant difference would go with the oval. Advice, please!
SKU 608289 (.80ct Oval H VVS2 $2,830) This diamond performed wonderfully in person and has tremendous balance of fire, brilliance and sparkle! Very minimal bowtie blends perfectly with faceting and is not visible. Diamond faces up much larger than its carat weight and has a lovely elongated shape. Facing up a bright, transparent white, this Oval would serve as a spectacular center stone!

SKU 228407 (1.15 Pear H SI2 $3,600) has a great presence and overall beautiful shape. Bowtie is slightly more noticeable here despite amazing brilliance/sparkle from the center. SI2 inclusions are confined to the girdle.

Oval, without a doubt. Good facet pattern, hardly any bowtie and good even scintillation and sparkle. The pear doesn't look eye clean to me.

I also prefer the oval.

If YOU want a pear, why not put the oval on hold, post your budget and CCC requirements and the folks can help you look? You shouldn't have to settle for the oval if you really want a pear.
