This pointed end is vulnerable to chipping and some other damages. Hence, choosing perfect
pear-shaped diamond engagement ring settings that safeguards the tip of the gemstone is really crucial.
The commonly used settings to secure a
pear diamond ring are
bezel and
prong. In the case of the former, the entire outline of a gemstone is wrapped by a metal band. This is one of the safest ways to set a
pear diamond, especially for people who are clumsier and often knock into things. However, this is not an ideal choice for you if you give priority to the sparkle of a ring, as only a minimum surface area of the gemstone is visible in this case.

pear diamond ring secured with a
prong setting is suitable for couples who want their sparkler to draw the attention of every single onlooker. Note that you must consider a
V prong setting in order to safeguard the pointed tip of your gemstone, rather than using claw-like prongs. Moreover, it is recommended not to wear pear
diamond rings during strenuous activities, as the chances of gemstones being hit or damaged are more here.
