Pear Diamond Engagement Rings

A diamond of juxtapositions, the tip of the pear can be worn facing upwards or downwards–a dynamic shape that combines soft tradition with a pointy edge. Its facet structure leaves nothing to be desired, full of sparkle, fire and brilliance.

Similarly to oval shape diamonds, some pear diamonds may exhibit a bow-tie effect. This occurs when light doesn’t bounce into the middle of the diamond because of the way it has been cut and appears as a visible bow-tie shape darkness in the diamond’s centre.

While most agree that this is part of a pear diamond’s beauty, a severe effect is undesirable. All of our diamonds are hand-inspected to ensure they do not possess a strongly visible bow-tie effect.

The pear shape carries a multitude of meanings. With a tapered shape that resembles a droplet of water, this shape acts as a symbol for life, fertility and nourishment. Some also agree that the pear shaped diamond looks like a tear of joy, invoking the feeling of deep emotional attachment and love.

As a diamond cut, the pear is sharp yet feminine, making it a wonderfully unusual choice for an engagement ring. Pear diamond engagement rings are seen as edgy and original, perfect for anyone with a bold, playful personal style.
