I'm considering buying a small pear shaped stone and want some ideas for settings. Show me what you guys have.
 
I like this one, by Madelynn Cassin/One Garnet Girl, inspired by a piece found on the Titanic.

Wow, very beautiful, I've never seen pearl ring. :)
 
Here's my pear ring. Note its sad emptyness ;( I LOVE this mounting but am still searching for a stone but soon I just may have to give up. That said - I do love pears!

Awww, JBK, that is the saddest thing... :blackeye: :(( :(sad ;( Someone, somewhere, has got to have a pear for you!
 
There was a whole thread started on exactly the same subject a while ago - let me see if I can dig it up for you! I LOVE pears and have more of them than anything else I think!!! It sort of snuck up on me. One minute I had just one pear, the next I had tons and hadn't realised it!!! :lol:

Edit: here are two threads I found but I'm sure there's a much bigger one somewhere!!

Thanks Minou :wavey: - I sure hope you're right!

LD - that's exactly what's happening with me! In my pear search, I have collected a fair number of pears that I still love - just for whatever reason they don't work in my mounting. I have developed quite an affection for pears!

Yeah but what a brilliant excuse (if you need one) for carrying on buying pears! :appl: Is the problem that your setting is for quite a long/thin pear? I love that shape - it's my fav!!!
 
I don't have access to my pics at the moment but have posted pear designs with 2 baguettes, 2 shields, 2 pears, a curvy bypass like design, and various halos. I've started to appreciate the shape of pears lately but am cautious about those that darken too much at the tip. I'll see if I can find more pics tonight unless another PSer comes to my rescue first.
 
LD - your collection is awesome! Yes, its the size I think. I'm needing around 11x7 but I agree, I do just love that shape!

Thank you (and :oops: that photo is out of date :oops: ) :lol: Why don't you start another thread with the colours you like and let's see what we can find?

Thank you! I'd found pear shape threads for diamonds, but not CS. My searing abilities on my iPad are clearly less the stellar.

The stone I want to get is about w half carat. I have a feeling that'll be too small for me :-(

This is one of my favorite pear-cut ring designs - in the next couple weeks I'm sending off my little chryso pear for this setting...

I love this setting and I REALLY love that vendor. I too will be having some projects with her in a few weeks :bigsmile:
 
Although this is pretty small and looks good

VERY pretty!!!! :love:
 
Always the with it person that I am, I was about to remark on how similar the settings were. I was going to comment on the split shank, and more interestingly, the fact that they were both pear-shaped! :oops: :rolleyes: I probably should've been a detective, huh?!! Hello? anybody home? anybody? anybody? Bueller?

Don't forget pears can look bigger than their carat weight, especially if they're long and thin. The setting on that one (with the double halo) makes it look a lot larger than it is. It's a good choice for a small stone (and it's incredibly pretty).
 
Nkotb, I like that Madelynn Cassin setting..... wouldn't have thought I'd like close set bezels but very pretty. :love:
 
NKOTB - love that "Titantic" ring. Do you have links to more angles? My searching failed.
 
I would love to see more pear shaped settings.

Love BrightIce's Spinel by VC.

Athena, who did yours?

Thank you SB. Yeah, Mark Broumand made it for me. Here's the link to my SMTB thread [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/im-feeling-fly-gets-me-every-time.185066/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/im-feeling-fly-gets-me-every-time.185066/[/URL]

Thanks Athena! How much does that setting usually run? I'm interested in setting a pear shaped tourmaline.
