What Is an 18ct Yellow Gold Pear-Shaped Engagement Ring?
A pear-shaped engagement ring features a diamond cut in the iconic teardrop shape, known for its elegant curves and sharp point. This unique cut combines the brilliance of a round diamond with an elongated design that flatters the hand. When set in the rich tones of 18ct yellow gold, pear-shaped diamonds gain a timeless yet contemporary appeal. They can be styled as a solitaire for simplicity, framed by a halo for added sparkle, or paired with a diamond-set band for extra brilliance.
Why Choose a Pear-Shaped Diamond with an 18ct Yellow Gold Setting?
Unique Brilliance
The pear shape is designed to maximise sparkle, with facets arranged to create a dazzling display of fire and brilliance.
Elegant Proportions
The elongated teardrop silhouette creates a flattering and lengthening effect on the finger, adding a touch of sophistication.
Versatility in Design
Pear-shaped diamonds are versatile, working beautifully in a variety of settings, from sleek and minimal to intricate and glamorous.
Romantic Appeal
The distinctive shape evokes elegance and individuality, making it a popular choice for those seeking something out of the ordinary.
Are 18ct Yellow Gold Pear-Shaped Engagement Rings Expensive?
Pear-shaped diamonds are often more affordable than round diamonds of the same carat weight because they retain more of the rough diamond during the cutting process. However, the value of a pear-shaped engagement ring also depends on the quality of the diamond and the craftsmanship of the setting. When paired with 18ct yellow gold, these rings balance luxury with value, offering a stunning symbol of love.
Why Are Pear-Shaped Engagement Rings So Popular?
Pear-shaped diamonds are loved for their distinctive silhouette, which blends classic elegance with a modern edge. Their unique shape makes them versatile and ideal for various design styles, from understated solitaires to ornate halos. The teardrop shape is also symbolic of tears of joy, adding a sentimental touch to its romantic appeal.

Diamond-Set Band: Rows of diamonds along the shoulders enhance the brilliance and elegance of the pear diamond, creating a luxurious effect.
Do Pear-Shaped Diamonds Appear Larger Than Other Shapes?
Pear-shaped diamonds can appear larger than round diamonds of the same carat weight due to their elongated shape and expansive surface area. This visual advantage, coupled with their exceptional brilliance, makes them an excellent choice for a striking centerpiece.
Why Pair Pear-Shaped Diamonds with 18ct Yellow Gold?
The warm, golden tones of 18ct yellow gold beautifully complement the unique shape and brilliance of a pear diamond.
