Thanks everyone,
I had a 2.02 Radiant before in a wide thick band........ ALA..... Lynn B's first set that I think WOOBUG has now. There's a bad picture of my old set somewhere on this site.
After learning and looking at this very informative site I just fell in love with the thinner type bands........ALA.......Mara's rings, Lynn B's new set, Lady Luv's Luxury's milligrained set, and all the eternity style bands I've seen here.
So thanks Mara, Lynn B, and LLL for your inspiration rings
I hope you guys didn't mind me "stealing/borrowing" your styles. I even had someone photoshop a pear on Mara's set. (The mock up picture is here somewhere.)
Oh, I forgot to thank Belle too she always answer my questions no matter how dumb they were!
I am so amazed how much bigger and sparkly the pear looks compared to my old Radiant I am in love with this set

Dee Jay,
I did have it set locally and probably did a pricescope NO NO in the process !
After looking and trying to convince my husband to get a stone from one of the internet vendors to no avail (he is so ole school it not even funny).............my husband saw the late night Jewelry Exchange commercial and said let's try that place.............after looking at him like he was a alien and huffing I agreed. Really just to prove him wrong
I printed off some pears from the website of a couple of pricescope venders(to show internet prices & what expected in a stone) after arming myself with pricescope knowledge & arrogance I started the Jewelry Exchange trek.
I looked on the wesite and had them fax me the reports and get the numbers of some stones that looked promising, I then used the Gem Appaisers site weed out the duds and to get classes ie 1a, 1b etc. I called and told them which ones to keep or order for me to look and I went in. I admit it wasn't easy having someone...the headquarters gem expert get all or so they said humpf......get all the numbers I needed to check Gem Appraisers.
I was a little skeptical and leery especially after all the knowlegde I gained and things I read about them here.
I went in and they pointed me to the "senior" sales guy, I got the impression they had talked about how to handle me before I got there(the lady with all the questions and knowledge). The sales guy was very knowledge and he answered all my questions with the "right" answers too. I was dumbfounded he actually knew what he was talking about, so after looking and comparing stones I picked the pear and the 18k white gold setting and the rest is history.
So I guess the moral of the story is..........if you know what to look for and you do your research you can actually find something "GOOD & WORTHWHILE" at a B&M store. I know it's not for everyone but in this case it worked me.
So once again thanks to everyone that answered all my questions and unknowingly helped me get my lovely pear!!
Sorry for the long post, but I felt I to "EXPLAIN" my sacrilege Jewelry Exchange purchase.

Bravesfan''s pear is haloed and has a 2 ct stone. Here is a link to her ring:

In the end, what matters is how YOU feel about it. I really love your set. I also love haloed pears.
I''m not much help here.

YMA, your rings are stunningly beautiful. I''m impressed you did your homework and went forward with the Jewelry Exchange and were successful. I think it is important to note that you can have success at a B&M, you just need to go in informed and prepared as you were. Good job!!! And congrats!!!
