FAQs About Pear Shaped Engagement Rings

What Do Pear Shaped Rings Symbolize?

Pear shaped engagement rings symbolize a harmonious blend of style and grace, as they combine the elegance of marquise cuts with the brilliance of round cut diamonds. This fusion of traditional and contemporary elements represents the union of two people, making it a significant symbol of love and commitment. The unique pear shaped diamond also embodies strength and individuality, making it an ideal choice for a one-of-a-kind love story.

Are Pear Shaped Diamond Rings Popular?

Yes, pear shaped engagement rings have gained popularity in recent years due to their distinctive and sophisticated appearance. Celebrities such as Ariana Grande, Cardi B, and Sophie Turner have all chosen pear shaped engagement rings, further solidifying their status as a trendy and luxurious choice. The unique pear shaped engagement ring is a timeless classic that appeals to modern brides seeking a stylish and distinctive ring.

Are All Pear-Cut Diamonds the Same Shape?

While all pear-cut diamonds share the same simple teardrop shape, they can vary in terms of proportions and symmetry. Some pear shaped diamonds may be more elongated, while others may have a rounder or fuller appearance. Whether choosing a simple pear shaped engagement ring or a more unique and elaborate design, it's essential to select a diamond with proportions that are visually appealing and well-balanced. Gabriel & Co. has a team of artisans who meticulously design our engagement rings to meet aesthetically ideal standards, with perfect curves and cuts that flatter the design, so you can feel confident that all of our pear shaped rings have been crafted for beauty and lasting appeal.

What Setting is Best for Pear Shaped Engagement Rings?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the ideal setting for a pear shaped engagement ring depends on personal preferences and style. Popular options include simple solitaire settings, which showcase the diamond's unique shape, and halo settings, which add extra sparkle and make the center stone appear larger. Other choices include vintage-inspired bezel settings or intricate filigree designs. Gabriel & Co. has one of the largest selections of engagement rings in the industry and a Concierge Team of Engagement Ring Specialists who can help you navigate all the setting, metal and design options. When you are ready, they will personally schedule an appointment for you to view and try on your favorite styles at your nearest Gabriel Partner Store location.

Is Color or Clarity Important in a Pear Shaped Engagement Ring?

Both color and clarity play a crucial role in determining the overall beauty and value of a pear shaped engagement ring. Since pear shaped diamonds have a larger table (the top flat surface), inclusions and color imperfections may be more noticeable than in other diamond shapes. It's essential to select a diamond with a color and clarity grade that ensures a stunning and eye-catching appearance.

Did You Know?

Did you know the pear-cut diamond has roots in 15th-century brilliance? Crafted by Lodewyk van Bercken in 1458, its teardrop shape wasn't just beautiful, it was revolutionary. He even invented a diamond-polishing wheel to bring out its sparkle.

Over time, this design has become a favorite for engagement rings, loved for its romantic charm and the way it reflects the artistry of its creation. Imagine slipping a piece of history, love, and artistry onto your finger.

Our Pear-Shaped Engagement Rings

At Gabriel & Co., we have a beautiful collection of pear-cut diamond rings to match every style and personality. From classic solitaires and romantic three-stone designs to modern Toi-et-Moi rings and vintage-inspired treasures, you’ll surely find the perfect piece to make your “I do” moment unforgettable.

With its unique beauty and contemporary feel, the pear diamond ring comes in many styles. A solitaire setting highlights the diamond’s sparkle, accentuating its shine with deep fire. For more brilliance and luster, a pear-cut diamond can be set in a halo style, nestled in a contour of smaller diamonds or precious stones. A Toi-et-Moi setting complements the beauty of the pear cut diamond, giving it a new dimension and grandeur.

How to Pair Your Pear-Shaped Diamond Ring

Thanks to its protruding pointed end, the pear cut is truly unique. Therefore, we recommend pairing it with a curved wedding band to achieve a flushed and elegant fit. If the ring features a solitaire setting, match it with a curved diamond wedding band to perfectly contrast the engagement ring's polished, clean shank.

The choice of setting of a pear-cut diamond significantly influences the overall look of the ring. Choose a setting with polished prongs to highlight the unique shape of the pear-cut diamond and maximize the intensity of its brilliance. V-shaped or half-moon settings are very popular as they naturally complement the diamond’s shape.
