[Satine De La Courcel]

I can see teh two largest measurements being taken for this pearl not surprising that it can be misleading to the shape of the thing...

well one thing is for sure many of us agree the setting is hideous. definalty does not do the pearl justice. The picture is not at all flattering to the pearl gives it a "flat" look.

The way the leaves are it kinda looks as if someone were trying to envision the whole thing as a pear as if it were just plucked from the tree complete with leaves still attached. But that is MHO only....

cheers
