Thank you @liaerfbv ! Such a lovely compliment from someone with a collection as fabulous as yours!

These photos are totally mesmerising & unedited - she really is a beauty!

Over the years I have had a bit of a love / hate relationship with this pear, as it had 2 failed settings (first was thin & meh, second had channel set shoulders & the diamond fully fell out of it twice, that went on then to be bent by the butcher jeweller who tried to fix the falling out issues), but thanks to lovely PSers, I fell in love with it again after having this custom setting made, but it's taken a lot of reassurance. It's a stunning stone (D VS2, ideal symmetry) & gets lots of compliments!

HI:

I remember your story. Your ring has it all: elegance and beauty and timelessness = classic. It's a keeper.

@canuk-gal Thanks Sharon. If I'm honest, it's been mostly reassurance from yourself and @missy that has made me relax & enjoy this diamond more. Whilst you both have vast & BEAUTIFUL collections, the time you have taken to have my back over this little pear when I have wobbled has been hugely appreciated :appl:

@Alex T you know I love love love your pear!! Are you still considering a bezel? I worry you'd miss the fireworks too much... Also, I'm getting very jealous seeing posts of PS get-togethers! Can I entice you to an outing soon? Are you on LT? I'd be happy to share my email.

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments :wavey:

@luckyblackcat I don't have a LoupTroup account actually, as I've never bought or sold anything on there. I guess I could create one though? Would be lovely to meet up, although I don't have any fancy bling to share with you - just a passion for all things sparkly! I never thought about losing fire with a bezel? Does that actually happen??

Bezeling does block out more light, and I feel like my pear performs a bit like a step-cut in terms of light play, whereas my mom's OEC-esque round (I forget what GIA actually called the cut) is also bezeled but still gives off crazy fireworks in almost any lighting.

I'd be so happy to just meet (and for our pears to meet!) over tea? Cake? Window shopping? And cake?? I'll put up an LT posting with my email in it!
