One of the most popular of the fancy shape diamonds for an engagement ring is the pear cut. A modified brilliant cut with an elongated point that is often referred to as a teardrop diamond. View all of our pear cut diamond engagement ring styles below.
Our Brisbane jewellery store has pear cut diamond engagement rings available to suit all buyers. Due the the shallow elongation, the pear cut diamond appears bigger than the weight suggests and with the cut being closest to the round cut it exhibits the greatest brilliance of all the fancy diamonds but is also the most expensive. The single elongated point gives the diamond an asymmetrical yet feminine touch and an elongated look on the finger.
The first pear cut diamond was introduced in the 1400’s by Flemish polisher, Lodewyk or Louis van Berquem in Belgium and was also the inventor of the diamond-polishing wheel. With 58 facets and a ratio between 1.5-1.7 as with the other bow-tie cuts, modern cutting means this phenomenon is a feature of the cut rather than an imperfection.
With incredible sparkle and brilliance a 1ct pear diamond engagement ring is perfect as a solitaire or halo design teardrop ring. It is always recommended to purchase a pear cut diamond with an international grading certificate to ensure a perfectly cut and symmetrical stone. A 1.5ct, 2ct or 3ct pear diamond is exceptionally beautiful and our expert consultants can assist you with making the right selection.
