How is a pear-shaped diamond ring worn?

The pear can be worn with the point towards the nail or towards the wrist. Most people choose the point towards the hand, because this orientation lengthens and slims the finger the most. The final decision, however, is a matter of personal taste and comfort.

What is the bow-tie effect in a pear?

The bow-tie effect is a darker transverse shadow across the centre of the diamond that appears in elongated cuts, including the pear. A slight shadow is common and is almost imperceptible in a well-cut stone; a more pronounced one detracts from the brightness. We therefore assess each diamond individually.

Is the point of a pear prone to damage?

The point is the most sensitive spot of the pear, so we protect it with a V-shaped prong. With normal wear and a suitable setting, the risk is low. We recommend avoiding strong impacts and having the ring checked occasionally.

Do pear-shaped diamonds have a certificate?

We offer a certificate from the GIA, IGI or HRD laboratories for diamonds from 0.30 ct. It states, among other things, the proportions and symmetry, which are especially important for the pear. For smaller diamonds we do not issue a certificate as standard.

Pear-Shaped Diamond Engagement Rings

The pear-shaped diamond, sometimes called a teardrop, combines the rounded end of an oval with the elegant point of a marquise. The result is a distinctive cut that optically lengthens and slims the finger.

The pear suits those seeking a delicate yet striking shape beyond the classic circle. It shines in a solitaire as well as in more elaborate settings, where we carefully protect its point.

Character of the shape

Why a pear

The pear is created by combining an oval and a marquise — one end is gently rounded, the other tapers to a point. This asymmetry gives the diamond a movement and character that a circular cut cannot offer.

The longer silhouette optically lengthens the finger and looks elegant even at a smaller carat weight. The pear suits those who want a striking, romantic and yet timeless shape. The point can face towards the hand or away from it — you choose the orientation according to your preference.

What to look for in a pear

Symmetry and the bow-tie effect

With the pear, proportions and symmetry are key. The point must sit exactly in line with the rounded end, otherwise the diamond looks crooked. We recommend checking that both halves of the outline are mirror-balanced and that the shoulders flow smoothly.

Like the oval and the marquise, the pear can also display a so-called bow-tie effect — a darker transverse shadow across the centre. A slight one is common; a more pronounced one detracts from the brightness. We assess colour and clarity individually for each diamond; the point tends to be more sensitive to tint, so we give it special attention. We offer a GIA, IGI or HRD certificate for diamonds from 0.30 ct.

Setting and metal

How to set a pear

The most vulnerable spot of the pear is the point. We therefore usually protect it with a V-shaped prong, which firmly embraces the tip and also accentuates its line. A three-prong or five-prong setting holds the diamond securely and leaves it plenty of light.

The pear shines in white as well as yellow gold; we tune the choice of metal and the height of the setting to the shape of the hand and to your wishes. We carry out the crafting in our Czech goldsmith workshop.
