Opinions on this pear ASET

Hi Everyone - Just wanted to get your opinions on this pear ASET - I understand interpreting fancy shape ASETs can be tricky. So, all of you pear lovers/owners/experts, please let me know what you think!

Not bad. How is the bowtie?

I don't think it looks bad either. Can you oder it and return it if its not to your liking?

UPDATE: I did purchase this pear, and it is a beautiful stone. I don't have a lot of experience with fancy shapes, and want to follow-up with you pear experts on pear performance. The stone is now mounted simply in prongs. When it is in the ring box with the lid up the top and bottom parts of the stone appear rather dark (just a little greyish, I guess) and the most brilliant part is over the bow tie area. Take the ring out of the box, and near a window or light source and the whole stone is white and clear like in a round brilliant. Fluorescent lights, however, tend to mimick the ring box look. So, is this normal for a pear? Next to a round brilliant I have and an OEC I have it is a much different light performance - normal or not?

Thanks everybody.

That matches up with what I've seen.

What you've described is what the ASET shows, which is typical for most pear cuts, only that some are worse and/or more obvious bowties.
