The Shape That Flows
The pear cut - also called teardrop - is all about movement. It blends the round end of a round brilliant with the point of a marquise, so it feels both soft and striking. It's been around since 1458, when Flemish cutter Lodewyk Van Berquem first shaped it - and it's still one of the most graceful cuts today.
On the hand, it's naturally elongating - the curve and point draw the eye, making fingers look longer and more elegant. It's a favorite for solitaire pendants and engagement rings, especially in halo or thee-stone settings that frames its unique shape.
Fun fact: It often looks larger than other diamonds of the same carat weight - and its 58 facets give it a balanced sparkle, not too fiery, not too quiet.
It's not just a cut - it's a statement!
