The pear cut has a rounded end and a single tapered point, which gives it a graceful teardrop outline.
That shape does two things well. It elongates the finger, and it carries more visible surface than a round diamond of the same carat weight. The result is a stone that looks larger and more refined on the hand.
Lab grown diamonds make the pear shape even more rewarding. They are chemically, physically and optically identical to mined diamonds, so the same budget can stretch to a larger stone, a higher colour grade or a fuller eternity band.
Pear rings also feel distinctive without being unconventional. They suit brides who want something beyond a classic round, but still timeless.

A pear eternity band sets a continuous row of pear cut diamonds around the finger. The Pearfect Band is our signature in this style, working as a standalone wedding ring or as a sparkling partner to an engagement ring.
Pears can be set end to end for a flowing line, or side by side for a bolder, crown like look.
A pear solitaire puts all the attention on one stone. Our Pear Drop keeps the setting minimal, while the Pear Halo Engagement Ring adds a frame of smaller diamonds for extra size and sparkle.
For a sleeker profile, the Channel Set Pear Engagement Ring protects the band diamonds within a smooth metal edge. Browse these in our engagement rings collection.
Pears also work beautifully alongside another centre shape. Trellis of Brilliance pairs an oval centre with two pear cut side stones, a design that suits couples who want the pear shape as a supporting detail.
| Style | Best for | Everyday wear | Stacking |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pear eternity band | Continuous sparkle and a flowing line | Very comfortable, sits low | Excellent with most engagement rings |
| Pear solitaire | A clean, single statement stone | Moderate, centre sits higher | Pairs best with a curved or slim band |
| Pear halo | Maximum visual size and brilliance | Moderate | Works with a straight, slim band |
| Channel set pear | A sleek, protected profile | Very practical for active hands | Stacks neatly with plain bands |
A pear cut rewards careful selection. These are the details that matter most.
Length to width ratio. Most buyers prefer a ratio between 1.45 and 1.75. Lower ratios look fuller and rounder. Higher ratios look slimmer and more dramatic on the finger.
Symmetry. The two shoulders on either side of the point should mirror each other, and the point should sit in line with the centre of the rounded end.
Bow tie effect. Many pear diamonds show a darker band across the middle of the stone. A well cut pear keeps this subtle, so view the diamond in person or on video before you decide.
Colour. Pears can concentrate a little colour at the point. A higher colour grade keeps the stone crisp, particularly in white gold.
Protecting the point. A V shaped prong at the tip guards the most delicate part of the diamond and is strongly recommended for daily wear.
The tapered point of a pear engagement ring can leave a gap against a straight band. There are three common ways to solve this.

Matching your band and engagement ring metal gives the most cohesive stack. Mixing metals is a deliberate choice that works well in modern designs.
If you have a specific design in mind, our bespoke service lets you create it from the ground up.
You choose the stone, the ratio, the setting, the metal and personal touches such as an engraving. A contour band built to fit your exact engagement ring is one of the most requested bespoke pieces.
The process typically takes around three weeks once the design is finalised. Find out how it works on our bespoke jewellery page.

A pear cut is best judged in person, where you can see its outline and sparkle on your own hand. Book an appointment to try styles before you decide.
Traditionally the point faces towards the fingertip, which lengthens the look of the hand. Some wearers prefer the point facing the wrist for a softer, less conventional look, and either is correct.

Yes, with the right setting. A channel set or bezel protected point offers the most security for people who use their hands a lot at work or during sport.

Generally, yes. The elongated outline spreads the carat weight across a larger visible area, so a pear often looks larger than a round diamond of the same weight.

Full eternity bands are difficult to resize because diamonds run all the way around the band. Confirming your size with our sizing guide or a showroom fitting before ordering is the safest approach.
