My e-ring is going to be the one with 1ct round diamond in the center and two pears (0.5 tw) on the sides. My local jeweler gave me a great price on the setting including the two excellent cut pear stones. Ifm buying a 1ct center from one of the online vendors and bring it into the local jeweler.
Ifm wondering if I should just trust him in choosing the two pear stones, or buy two pears from the vendor who I buy 1ct center stone from. I prefer to just go with the local jeweler for the setting with pear stones, but my concern is that whether he can choose nice pear stones for me or not. I asked for excellent cut pears, and he increased his quote a little, but Ifm not sure if he really knows what is excellent cut pears. He is well known trusted jeweler for offering great custom settings/mountings, but Ifm not sure of his ability to choose pears.
My question is that how picky I need to be about the excellent cut 0.25ct each pear stone? If it is a good cut, would it be good enough? I would think he could pick good cut pears at least. How much difference will I see in 0.25 ct each two pear stones between good cut and excellent cut?
Thanks!
