Pear?

[bling!]

My mom has a 1 ct. pear diamond from her original engagement ring. She hasn''t worn it in years, but would like to reset it - possibly into a necklace. Would it be possible to put a halo around the pear and set it as a pendant? Mom already has two right hand rings that she rotates, so I don''t think she wants to reset it in a ring.

Any other ideas? Photos of pear pendants? Thanks!!

Yes indeed - it would be gorgeous!

A halo would be gorgeous. This is my original ER pear, .96ct. WF set it with tiny little ACA''s on the chain.

Thanks. I wear the single martini set ACA everyday!! 1.54ct H

The pear I seldom wear - I keep forgetting I have it!

Here''s mine. It''s an everyday (and not very good) pendant - so ignore the workmanship but this is just to illustrate how a pear can look in a very bad halo setting! I bought the setting from a shopping network and the diamonds were ok so I took out the horrible central stone and replaced it with my diamond!

Not to hijack bling''s thread - but I don''t recall much of a thread on it - I think I just posted a few pics. But I took my 33 year old nasty spec''s (!!!) pear
to WF for an update. Brian and I spent a little time together, I kinda had this design in mind and he drew it out for me. I wanted more swing from the pear,
it doesn''t move much. The little ACA''s are 10 pter''s.

Oh, my! That is a very pretty necklace! Just yesterday I thought how nice a pear would look as a necklace... and started browsing Whiteflash for pears (I'd have to buy one... or have one given to me as a present... probably the former

). What a timely thread!! I didn't consider putting a delicate little halo around the stone, what a great idea. I'm a bit confused as to the size of the pear... does anyone have pics of diamond pendant necklaces on?, so I could get a sense for sizes? Just wondering.

Update: Never mind, mscushion, how about you do a simple search for "pear pendant" and find some delicious pics??? silly me.

It would be gorgeous in a pendant with a halo around it.
