Hi! Glad you are making progress on your ring! Here is my pear picking thread! I went with the .85 carat side stones. It looks like Leon's are similar in shape?
Thanks tweeter for sharing the photo of your pears. So helpful! The pears in my photo taper slightly less than yours and therefore slightly less pear-ish, if that makes any sense. That's what's off! They're still quite nice but maybe I'll check if there might be another pair to look at. Thanks again!!
I like your choice of plain setting. Personally I like fat chubby pears but it is difficult to compare when you do not have something, physically, next to the more narrow stones. Each shape will change the esthetic of the ring: the more narrow stones will show more definition between the central and sides and elongate the appearance EW orientation, while the chubbier stones will have a greater central presence...(IMHO) .
Funny, I do see what you mean...they seem chubbier at the tip. Pictures are so hard though!! I was sooooo worried about the one's Steven chose! I think it is worth it to ask for another set to compare, because you need to be happy with them!
