Pear Cut Diamonds

A pear shaped natural diamond, also called a teardrop diamond, features a rounded end on one side and a pointed tip on the other, combining elements of both round and marquise cuts. It typically has 58 facets arranged in a brilliant-cut pattern that delivers strong sparkle and fire. The pear shape's distinctive silhouette creates an elongating effect on the finger and offers a unique alternative to more traditional shapes.

The most popular length-to-width ratio for a pear cut diamond is between 1.50 and 1.75, which creates a balanced teardrop shape that is neither too narrow nor too wide. A ratio closer to 1.50 gives a fuller, rounder pear, while 1.75 and above creates a longer, more slender silhouette. Check for a minimal bowtie effect across the center and confirm good symmetry where the point aligns with the center of the rounded end.

Yes, pear shaped natural diamonds typically face up 8% to 15% larger than round diamonds of the same carat weight. Their elongated shape distributes weight across a larger surface area, creating the impression of a bigger stone on the finger. This makes pear cuts an excellent choice for buyers who want to maximize visible size without moving to a higher carat weight.
