The pear cut diamond, also known as the teardrop shape, combines the brilliance of a round cut with the elongated elegance of a marquise. This distinctive shape creates a stunning, unique look that stands out from traditional engagement ring styles.
Our pear shaped lab grown diamonds are carefully selected for symmetry, ensuring the rounded end and pointed tip are perfectly aligned. Each stone features optimal length-to-width ratios between 1.50 and 1.75, creating the most flattering proportions for this romantic shape.
Pear diamonds can be worn with the point facing up (for an elongating effect) or down (for a classic teardrop look). Our collection includes solitaires, halo settings, and three-stone designs, all handcrafted in 14K gold, 18K gold, or platinum with IGI or GIA certified diamonds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which direction should a pear diamond point?
Traditionally, pear diamonds are worn with the point facing toward the fingernails, as this elongates the finger. However, wearing it point-down creates a unique look. There's no wrong choice—it's personal preference.
What should I look for in pear diamond symmetry?
The rounded end should be a smooth semi-circle, and the point should be centered and sharp. Both shoulders (the curved sides) should be identical. We hand-select our pear diamonds for excellent symmetry.
Are pear shaped diamonds more fragile?
The pointed tip can be vulnerable to chipping if unprotected. That's why we recommend settings with V-prongs or bezel protection on the point. All our pear diamond settings are designed to protect this delicate area.
