My original post was a few weeks ago about a pear that we had bought that was definitely far from what we had hoped (this one)...this one is a much happier one.
We ended up sending back the stone that had too much bowtie, and I took a recommendation for a local jeweler from a friend. Went there, talked with them, laid out what I wanted and what I didn''t want, and he brought in 4 stones for me to look at. The last one of those jumped out at me, as it had for him, and we immediately decided it was the one. It was SLIGHTLY smaller in carat weight, but the length and width were nearly the same, it was just a bit shallower. Better color (D vs. F), the same clarity, and little to now bowtie, and what is there is very light, not as nearly black as the previous one had been. Plus it was a much better deal and ended up with a better stone for less money. Can''t ask for much more than that!
Getting the setting done this month, which should complement it perfectly. Updates when I get some pictures of the setting!
