Pear Shaped Engagement Ring
Pear-shaped engagement rings date back to the early 1800s, inspired by 15th-century diamond cutter Lodewyk van Bercken’s teardrop cut. Combining marquise and oval facets for extra sparkle, their elongated shape flatters the finger and suits solitaire, halo, or three-stone settings in any metal. For those seeking a distinctive pear engagement ring, this design blends history with timeless beauty.

What Is a Pear Shaped Engagement Ring?
A pear shaped engagement ring is adorned with a diamond cut that combines the brightness of a round cut and the grace of a marquise. The outcome is the unique form having a one rounded end and one sharp tip, representing both emotion and individuality. The number of facets on this hybrid cut is usually 58 which offer an extraordinary sparkle when well-proportioned. The ideal pear diamond engagement rings have the length-to-width ratio of 1.45-1.75 and provide a harmonious and flattering shape on the finger. A well-cut teardrop engagement ring will maintain its symmetry and reflection of light whilst avoiding the common bow-tie effect. The striking teardrop silhouette and lustrous sparkle make this diamond perfect for expressing unique love.
Why Choose a Pear Shaped Diamond Ring?
Pear shaped engagement rings have a tapered shape, offering a unique silhouette and asymmetry not seen in other shapes. Its asymmetrical cut makes it an excellent fit for a range of modern designs, including east-west, halo, and mixed-shape three-stone styles. Visual impact is one of the key strengths that an engagement pear shaped ring has. The elongated cut makes the diamond appear larger per carat, offering more presence for your budget. For those who value elegance with a twist, pear shaped diamond engagement rings would never fail to meet the ideal blend of traditional beauty and the contemporary uniqueness.
