Pear Shaped Lab Grown Diamonds
A teardrop blending round and marquise — full sparkle, elongating, and elegantly distinctive.
What is a pear shaped diamond?
A pear (or teardrop) is a brilliant cut that blends a round at one end with a single point at the other. It has full, fiery sparkle, an elegant and distinctive outline, and — like other elongated shapes — looks larger per carat than a round while flattering the finger.
What to look for in a pear
- Ratio — most pears look best around 1.45–1.75; lower is rounder, higher is slimmer.
- Symmetry — the point should line up with the apex of the round end, and the two sides ("shoulders" and "wings") should mirror each other.
- Bow-tie — as with all elongated brilliants, look for a minimal dark centre band.
Use the filters above to set carat, colour, and clarity.
How to wear a pear
Traditionally the point faces up the finger (toward the wrist) for the most elongating effect, though there's no rule — some wear it pointing down. A V-prong at the tip protects the point. The pear also makes a striking pendant.
