Pear Shape

[lazypoint12]

I have been doing a lot of research on the perfect pear shape dimensions etc. Anyone have any thoughts on the following:

1.22 Ct
D Color
VS2 Clarity
9.81x 6.21 x 3.51
Depth 56.5%
Width 59%
Crown Height 14%
Pavillion Depth 40%
Girdle thin faceted
Symetry Very Good
Polish Very Good
Cutlet None
Florencense None

The 56.5% Depth percentage worries me, its shallow and puts it in a class 3A cut category. Try to get one at 59-63% for the total depth percentage. The length to width ratio is 1.58 (9.81/6.21) which puts it in the preferred range for pears (1.50 - 1.75) in class 1 and 2. By Width do you mean table percentage? If so that puts it in the 55 - 60 % for Class 1A for pears. Please remember that pears are not judged like RBs are. The other thing you want to look for is faint or no "bow-tie" which sometimes actually looks dark in poorly cut stones. One other thing, try to find an outline which is pleasing e.g. teardrop, versus blocky shoulders, or near trillion shape. Hope this helps. p.s. love the D-VS2 part of that stone though.

My husband "websailor" posted my pear on the "show me the ring" board under where he thought he had 6 months to save if you want to see what a 57% table, 61.1% depth, and 1.64 L:W look like. These numbers are almost dead center in the class 1 category.
