Why We Love It
Antique pears are just the best! This beauty is all about that stunning center diamond with a perfectly minimal setting to enhance, yet not outshine, that beautiful stone! We absolutely love the millegrain detail surrounding the side stones, too! The delicate claw prongs mimic the shape of the center stone for an seamless pairing!
This pear cut engagement ring is also the perfect size—enough to let you know its there but not too much to weigh you down. Plus, because the pear cut can show color better than others, the F color keeps the stone sparkling white, especially in this platinum setting with icy side stones!
Benefits Of Pear Cut Diamonds
The pear cut offers a one-of-a-kind vintage look! Also known as a teardrop or a modified brilliant cut diamond, the pear cut rose in popularity in the early half of the 20th century. During the 1920s, especially, the pear cut fit in well with the bold geometric designs that were all the craze. However, as we see with the Elsa ring, it also has a delicate side!
Here are a few reasons you’ll love to wear a pear:
- It’s unique and versatile: The pear cut can be worn in either direction (with the point up or down) creating a distinct look depending on which way it’s turned
- Great for hiding inclusions: And you know the diamond is going to look great, especially when you can find one at SI2 clarity!
- Elongates the finger: Unlike other larger stones, the pear cut is super slimming on most fingers!
