Pear cut diamond rings are a unique and elegant choice for engagement rings and have been very on trend recently. Celebrities such as Victoria Beckham and Jessica Simpson stun with their pear-shaped sparklers. Pear cut diamonds are also called teardrop diamonds, and two different diamond cuts are combined to create this elegant style – the round brilliant cut and the Marquise cut. Pear cut stones are especially sparkly because the stones are a brilliant cut, and the facets reflect light gorgeously. Though pear shaped stones have been trending lately, these beauties date all the way back to 1458.
Pear stones are a good choice for brides looking for something elegant and traditional yet different from the run of the mill engagement ring. Women that select a pear diamond cut ring are said to be strong women that aren’t afraid to go against the grain and true romantics at heart. Some say that the teardrop shape symbolizes tears of joy in a relationship. Some brides select pear cut rings because pear shaped diamonds have more spread than some other cuts and therefore appear bigger for the carat-size because of their length. Additionally, brides that have short or small fingers may choose this style to help give the illusion that their fingers are longer. Wearing the ring with the tip pointed up the finger helps create the image of a longer, slimmer finger.
When selecting a pear diamond engagement ring, be sure to pay close attention to color as well as carat size. Because of the unique shape of the pear diamond, many brides opt to go up one color grade than they may when selecting a round diamond, for example, because sometimes pear diamonds over one carat look slightly darker towards the sides, a phenomenon known as the “bowtie effect.” The bowtie effect can be common to pear and Marquise cut diamonds because of how the light hits their shape. Moving up one color grade can help even out the look of the color and maximize sparkle and shine! Some jewelers recommend a G color rating or higher to maximize shine and decrease any potential dark or yellow spots pear cut diamonds can be prone to. Also important to consider are the prongs on the ring. For optimal protection, pear diamonds rings that have a very strong prong at the tip of the diamond will protect the vulnerable tip from any preventable damage.
