Pear Engagement Rings
Pear engagement rings in solid gold, with lab grown diamonds, moissanite and sapphires. A pear is a brilliant cut with one rounded end and one point — half an oval, half a marquise.
It looks bigger than it weighs
A pear spreads along the finger rather than sitting in a circle, so a 1 ct pear covers noticeably more of the hand than a 1 ct round. It also elongates the finger, which is the main reason people choose it over an oval. If visible size per dollar is what you are after, pear and marquise are the two cuts that deliver it.
Which way should the point face?
Traditionally toward the fingernail, which lengthens the hand. Worn the other way it reads more modern and unusual. Either is correct; what matters is that the setting has a V-tip prong protecting the point, because that point is the most fragile part of any pear and an unprotected one will chip. Every pear setting here has one.
The bow tie
Pears and ovals can show a dark band across the middle where light does not return — the bow tie effect. A faint one is normal and invisible in wear; a strong one is a poorly cut stone. Look at the center of any elongated stone in a photograph before you buy it.
