Shallow Pear?

Hello everyone. I am still toying with the very deep cut caramel OEC (see previous thread) but my husband ever the sensible has said he wants me to calm down and look around properly. Apparently I can be a bit impulsive.... :naughty: :oops: :oops:

So, with that in mind I found this lovely which is currently on hold for me while I dither.

http://www.markbroumand.com/1.51ct-...d-engagement-anniversary-ring-3164-1d2298648/

Specs are on the link plus:

GIA report (for colour only):

Pear Brilliant
9.45 x 6.08 x 2.89 mm
Fancy light brownish yellow
Even colour distribution

Depth calculated at 48%.

My concern is the shallowness of the stone. I don't have enough experience to know if the video and photos show any problems. I love the colour and although I love yellow diamonds, I have to say the caramel/brown appeals to me a lot more.

The ring would be re-set with the rose gold cup, prongs and bezel staying and all white gold being replaced with 18k yellow so that it can be put with my existing wedding band and one year anniversary snake ring (see below).

All feedback greatly appreciated. :)

The stone looks beautiful - in the pics. The depth may not be an issue. But it is an SI2 - are you sure it's eye clean? Can the stone be unmounted and pictures taken of it loose?

So is the new setting re-using parts of the existing one and just replacing the wg with yg? I've not ever seen yg and rg together - not sure it would look so complimentary. One is warm, one cool. Hmm.

Just my opinion, but if you are going with the same style of ring that the pear is in now (halo with pave), I don't really think it "goes" with the snake head ring or wedding band. Again, just my opinion. Maybe wear it on the other hand?
 
I have an SI2 very shallow antique pear. The best part is the lack of bowtie. Seeing as you love the color and your main concern is the shallowness, I wouldn't be worried. However, from the photos, I can see inclusions -- if you're fine with them then go for it :-)
