Default Is it a yellow curvy or a pointy?

I don't know but it sold for £6.8 million yesterday. Recession, what recession?

Personally I wouldn't like to own it, you'd be forever snagging your tights on it and there's no way my biking gloves would fit over that big lump of carbon.

You wouldn't snag your tights unless for some odd reason you had your legs round your ears.

It would be set into a pendant being that size, in Mr T style

ahh right, I thought I was blind or summat then

If its pear shaped like in the picture, they are usually set into pendants, its not often I've seen an unusual shape in a ring.
110 carats is a hefty size.....it be like carrying a diamond the size of an elephant on yer finger. I've got 1/2 carat single stone and another something of a carat down the sides, and the single stone isn't small by a lot of standards.............I've got a 2 carat star diopside ring upstairs and it looks like someone mounted a giant black bogey on my finger

If you click the BBC link you can see the ring it's been made into.
