Pear shaped diamonds

When it comes to Pear shaped diamonds and the 4Cs, prioritize cut and clarity. Pears feature a large face and facets, so prioritize these first for maximum brilliance. They may possess a slight "bow-tie" effect in its center, which is the dark shadow that appears from the face-up. The degree of “bow-tie” severity varies so you can base your decision on personal preference.

Color depends on the metal setting you choose; yellow gold engagement rings work well with near-colorless Trillion cut diamonds, while platinum and white gold pair best with colorless stones.

Pear shaped diamonds appear larger than other diamond shapes of the same carat weight, so carat should be based entirely on personal preference and the engagement ring budget you have set.

As it is a reflection of your individual style, you should only buy an engagement ring based on personal preference. However, certain styles featuring Pear shaped diamonds are sought after again and again.

A Signature Solitaire or Classic engagement ring setting is a popular way of highlighting the Pear’s unique form. Three Stone and Toi et Moi engagement rings highlighting a Pear create a look that is full of emotion and symbolism.

Halo or Bezel engagement rings are popular choices for Pear lovers who want a truly vintage-inspired setting or Art Deco engagement ring. The Signature V is also well-loved for accentuating the Pear’s defined point.
