The Teardrop Cut: Pear Shaped Diamond Rings

Women are seeking out the beautiful and unique pear shaped diamond rings as engagement rings, eternity bands and right-hand rings. Also known as the "teardrop cut," the pear’s 58 facets offer a unique combination of brilliance and fire. A pear shaped diamond is a half round brilliant at the bottom of the stone, tapering to a half marquise at the top. The stone is pointed at one end and rounded on the other, hence the name.

Pear Shaped Diamond Engagement Rings feature a modified brilliant diamond merging the round brilliant cut and marquise cut into a beautiful teardrop. The similar facet pattern to the round brilliant brightens this stone in a diamond with a large table (flat, top facet) and width, and medium depth. The pear will appear larger than other fancy or mixed cuts due to the table. This visual quality that is appealing to many is also present in the marquise and oval cut.

How to Choose a Pear Shaped Diamond

The 58 facets in this shape allow for a similar brilliance to a round brilliant. Look for perfect symmetry when selecting your pear shaped diamond. The tapered point should align with the center of the rounded end of the diamond. The left and right sides should be identical to each other. The profile of the stone should be smooth and straight.

The ideal length to width ratio of a teardrop should fall between 1.40 and 1.70. A lower ratio will give you a fuller and rounder stone with the larger ratio presenting a more slender pear. Much like the romantic heart shaped diamond, the choice of shape is solely a matter of preference of the buyer.
