Pear Shaped Engagement Rings

A pear diamond is a teardrop with one rounded end and one pointed tip, blending the softness of an oval with the sharper line of a marquise. Worn vertically it lengthens the finger, and a balanced pear usually sits around 1.55:1 to 1.70:1. Treat these pear shaped engagement rings as starting points for a lab-grown or natural pear. We can show you pears side by side and test them in different lighting, in Toronto or virtually.

FAQ

Which way should a pear shaped engagement ring point?

Most pear rings are worn vertically. Point-up feels classic and lengthening, while point-down can feel softer from the wearer's view. Turned sideways, an east-west pear feels more modern, with less of a lengthening effect.

How do you protect the point of a pear diamond?

The pointed tip is more vulnerable than the rounded end, so the setting should be intentional. A V-prong over the tip is one common protection, and a bezel gives more coverage with a smoother outline.

Does a halo make a pear diamond look bigger?

Yes. A halo adds presence and can make the centre stone look larger from the top. The halo needs to follow the pear's outline neatly, or the ring can feel busy.

How long does it take to make a custom pear shaped engagement ring?

Anywhere from 2 to 8 weeks generally. The exact timeline will largely depend on you. Generally it takes longer the more involved you want to be in the design approval process. Let us know what timeline you need your ring within and we’ll make sure it happens.
