Part 6 – The Pear Shaped

Pear Shaped Diamonds

Pear diamond shapes are the most flexible types of diamond cut. Unlike other fancy diamond shapes, length-to-width ratio is a matter of taste. Because pear shaped diamonds may be used for engagement rings, suites in necklaces, dangles in earrings, and are an integral part of custom designs, a wide variety of cuts are considered desirable. Typical pear diamond shapes will contain 58 facets. Pear shaped diamonds are most popular in dangle earring and in simple pendants. When used for engagement ring they are often placed with side stones.
