Need advice on what to do???

Yeah! I'm so glad you decided to let her be part of the decision! I ALWAYS like to be part of the decision, and I often surprise hubby with what I choose. I guess that's why you guys love us so much -- life is never dull and predictable!

Congratulations.

Yay, I had been following this story with bated breath...so happy about the outcome! A 2 carat pear looks even bigger than a 2 carat round, so it's no wonder she was awestruck.

I'm so happy for you! I'm glad you gave her the option of keeping the diamond and I'm thrilled that she loves it. How nice!

Wow, good thing you asked her her preference before you traded in the pear for a RB half as big! I'm glad your story had a happy ending. It is possible she told you previously that she preferred a smaller stone because she did not want to put pressure on you to buy a large stone given your current financial situation, but was delighted that you already had a big, lovely stone that was a gift from your grandmother and did not put you further in debt.

Please post pics when you get the stone set and Congratulations!

When I first hit this thread I saw pear, thought I can't help with fancies and moved on. Then it grew to 2 pages and I just had to see what was going on.

This is a wonderful story. I am so glad you went with your heart and allowed your intended to decide what she wanted to do. She sounds like a great lady to value the family tradition of the stone as much as the diamond itself!

PS Rule! You must post pics when you get your gorgeous e-ring!

May I suggest a V prong on the point. I have a pear and V prong heads offer great protection to the point of a pear.
