Pear engagement rings offer a beautifully distinctive choice, combining soft curves with a refined tapered point. Sometimes referred to as teardrop-shaped diamonds, pear cuts bring together the brilliance of a round diamond and the elongated elegance of a marquise.
Their graceful silhouette can create the appearance of a longer, more slender finger, while the brilliant-style facet pattern allows the diamond to reflect light with lively sparkle. Pear-shaped diamonds can be worn with the point facing either towards or away from the hand, giving the ring a subtly different appearance depending on personal preference.
Our collection includes pear engagement rings in a variety of settings. A refined solitaire keeps the attention on the centre diamond, while a halo enhances its outline and adds further brilliance. Three stone designs may pair a pear-shaped centre with round, tapered or complementary side diamonds for a more detailed and balanced finish.
Diamond-set shoulders add sparkle across the band without overwhelming the centre stone. For those who prefer a cleaner look, a polished plain band allows the elegant shape of the pear diamond to remain the main focus.
Choose from platinum, 18ct white gold and 18ct yellow gold settings. Platinum provides a naturally white and durable backdrop that complements the brightness of the diamond, while yellow gold creates a warmer and more traditional contrast. Selected two-colour designs combine a yellow gold band with a platinum or white metal setting around the centre stone.
The proportions of a pear-shaped diamond can vary considerably. Some have a fuller, softer outline, while others are more elongated and slender. Symmetry is particularly important, as both sides of the diamond should appear evenly balanced from the rounded base to the point.
Because the pointed tip is the most delicate part of the diamond, it is usually protected by a carefully positioned claw or V-shaped setting. This helps preserve the shape while allowing the stone to remain visible and secure.
Our selection includes both natural and lab grown pear-shaped diamonds, giving you greater choice around origin, carat weight, colour, clarity and setting style.
