What is a Pear Shaped Engagement Ring?

A pear shaped engagement ring features a pear or water droplet shaped centre diamond - a beautifully crafted stone which combines the brilliance and sparkle of an oval and the elegant slender point seen on a marquise.
Beyond its beauty, the pear cut also carries symbolic significance, representing emotions such as love and joy. A pear cut engagement ring is a timeless expression of a couple's enduring bond and commitment, making it a cherished choice that will be treasured for a lifetime.

Are pear shaped diamonds popular?

Yes, pear-shaped diamonds are quite popular, especially among those looking for a unique and elegant alternative to traditional round or oval diamonds. Pear-shaped diamonds offer a mix of classic and modern appeal and are chosen for their distinctive shape, which combines the soft curves of a round cut with the elegance of a marquise point. They are favoured for their elongated flattering shape which gives a slender, elongated look to the finger, adding a sophisticated touch to any ring style. They appear larger than other stone shapes of the same carat weight, Additionally, they have excellent light reflection, especially if well-cut, giving them a brilliant sparkle.

Is a pear shaped diamond ring a good choice?

Yes, a pear-shaped diamond ring is an excellent choice, especially if you’re seeking elegance, uniqueness, and versatility. It is a great choice for those looking for a distinctive engagement ring that makes a statement with timeless appeal.

Which one of the 4Cs should I prioritise for a pear shaped diamond?

Of the 4Cs, definitely prioritise the cut! The elongated shape naturally means that some pavilion facets are wide while others are short, which is OK. These broader facets create a captivating display of mirror-like flashes if light is bouncing back out of the crown and table. Equally, however, if the broader facets are not bouncing light at the correct angle this shape can produce a dark ‘bow-tie’ effect across the middle. 
While it would be easy to say “choose the best for everything” we understand that choosing a diamond is often subject to individual budget, and it is our job as advisors to make sure you choose the best engagement ring possible.
