About Pear Cut Diamond Rings
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 rings.
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 point-up toward the fingertip for an elongating effect, but it's a personal preference. For another fancy-shape option with similar elegance, explore our oval cut or heart cut rings.
What should I look for in pear diamond symmetry?
Look for a centered pointed tip, evenly curved shoulders, and a rounded end that mirrors the point's position. Our IGI/GIA certified pear diamonds meet strict symmetry standards, and you'll find top-quality options in our Premium Lab Grown Diamond Rings collection.
Are pear shaped diamonds more fragile?
The pointed tip can be vulnerable to chipping if not protected. We recommend V-prong settings or our bezel set and halo designs that shield the tip beautifully while adding extra sparkle.
