Setting for small pear pad

[the_mother_thing]

Not to take away from Kellyb727's gorgeous pad and setting thread .... But I recently purchased Elliott86's little pear pad sapphire. And the thread about buying CSs in shapes you may not care for because of the color/price made me think to start a thread on this one. Though it will be a little while till I actually start on it due to other projects in flight.

When she had this suite listed for sale, this little bugger immediately appealed to me & caught my eye for the color. It's not certed, and I am less concerned about that, as the color is king for me vs what it's called.

It is an odd, fat little pear with a tiny point. But it is soooo pretty! My first thought regarding setting it went to a preloved vintage ring I bought a little while back with the most adorable filigree work and little bows and what kinds looks like an orange blossom flower on each side. This would take some rework of the setting to remove the center diamond and make room for the pear to be reset in its place. And when I looked at them together, it almost looks doable with the right bench.

What are your thoughts about it with this ring? What other ideas might the experts have for this dainty little pear? Do you have or have seen similar shaped pears in settings?

Here are a couple more pics of the setting I had in mind. When I bought this ring, it was immediately intended to one day hold a peachy pink stone if I ever found the right one. I just hope this is it and it can work.

In the pic with the two rings, it's the one on top. I am smitten with vintage settings.

I love this cut - i bought the little Tsavorite ( 0,60 ct) with the same cut ( scroll to the end).

And your sapphire is beautiful!!!

That is a beautiful tsav Marlow!

Is R2R still cutting? I didn't find a link for new products.

I don't know - a friend of mine took a cutting rough and He took the Tsavorite for me - I loved the cutting, the color is very good but not the top deep pure green quality I love ( "cryptonite" ). But they are extremely rare.

Your stone is listed as reserved so his page needs an update.

But the cut is one of my favorites - you have a 3/4 brilliant with this little tip - best light return in a "pear".

And I think you could combine two of them with a twisted setting ( hope you understand what I mean).

I like the filagree antique style setting for it, and you should definitely do yellow gold to bring out the pink/orange hue.

Great idea! That would bring out more of the orange color!

I assume Kellogg was the original buyer some time ago, so it is really overdue for an update.

Joco I love the antique setting, hmmmm now you are giving me ideas!

Ooooh yay!

I am also partial to the yellow gold filigree idea!

I love breathing new life into things that are otherwise not being loved. For example, the other ring pictured is currently having a light blue Asscher sapphire kite set in place of the diamond (some metal around diamond also being cut away).
