WTF.... you should be getting a much bigger VS1 stone for that kind of money..!

'Heart on Fire' means nothing once u step out of the store. It's just a licence to bump up the price & set ur wallet on fire.

I don't like round brilliant stones because after a month of surveying, I got sick of 'em. So common...!! My girl doesn't fancy heart shaped ones either because she thinks it's so cheesy.

Ended up secretly choosing between a half carat marquis and a half carat pear. I chose the latter, set on a double band ring encrusted with 40 small stones for a total of 0.65 carats. I told her the teardrop shape represents my tears of sadness turning into tears of joy when I met her.

Her jaw literally dropped to the floor when I proposed. I guess it was a good choice.

Besides, it would go well with a pear diamond necklace in the future.

It seems that a well cut half carat pear diamond will always look BIGGER than a half carat round brilliant diamond.

That sealed the deal for me. Lol..!!

Then there's the prong design. Some designs end up hiding a lot of the diamond when viewed from the side, which I don't like. Some got fugly thick prongs. It buries the stone & makes it look smaller, IMHO.

Some designs showcase & elevate the stone in all its glory, the prongs don't get in the way much. In the case of pear diamonds, this way you get to see a hell lot more of the rock which makes the ring a real stunner.

Cheers!
