More about pear diamonds...
The pear diamond engagement ring, sometimes referred to as the ‘teardrop’ or pendeloque cut, is unlike any other diamond shape. It is the perfect blend of a Marquise and oval shape, with one rounded end and point on the other, making for a soft yet statement engagement ring.
The history
Invented in the 15th century by diamond cutter Lodewyk van Berquem, the pear diamond still retains its popularity today. He created a diamond-polishing wheel that allowed every facet of the diamond to be polished which was transformative. This meant that all pear shaped diamonds to follow had the chance to exhibit a sparkle and brightness like never before.
Why should I choose a pear diamond engagement ring?
A diamond of juxtapositions, the tip of the pear can be worn facing upwards of downwards–a dynamic shape that combines soft tradition with a pointy edge. Its facet structure leaves nothing to be desired, full of sparkle, fire and brilliance.
