Pear Cut Diamonds

What is a Pear Cut?

The pear cut combines characteristics of oval and marquise shapes. Despite its long history, it remains a popular choice for engagement rings and fine jewelry.

Pear-shaped diamonds have a rounded end that tapers to a point. Their facet arrangement is related to brilliant-style cutting and can create strong sparkle when proportions and symmetry are well executed.

Why choose a Pear-Cut Diamond?

The pear shape offers an elegant, elongated look and can appear especially graceful in rings and pendants. Careful cutting is important because uneven light return can create darker areas through the center of the stone.

Choosing a Diamond Color

The preferred color grade depends on your taste. The source suggests G–H for a slightly warmer appearance and D–F for a cooler, whiter look, while noting that subtle color differences can be difficult to see without close comparison.
