A mix between a
round and
marquise diamond cuts, the teardrop or
pear-cut boast a noteworthy shine and fire. In fact, with 58
facets, it is considered to be the most popular among fancy
diamond shapes.
A
pear cut diamond can make the finger appear larger than it is, which is a quality of
marquise cut stones too. However, a
pear cut diamond is said to be a tough one to cut into with perfection for jewelers. That is why it is priced a bit higher than other fancy
diamond cuts.
Many
pear cuts turn out to be extremely broad or with inaccurate proportions. However, when it is cut perfectly, the teardrop
diamond is a romantic and sparkling showstopper.
Pear-shaped engagement rings with
pave diamonds or
halo are two of the most
popular
settings out there. When it is set with
white metal and colorless
diamonds, the overall appearance of the jewelry piece looks astounding. You can go for some variations to these
settings too, in order to bring out the best shine out of
pear-shaped diamonds.
