Pear Shaped Rings

Q: What does a pear shape ring symbolise?

The distinctive teardrop shape of the pear cut is thought to symbolise tears of joy, which is why this style makes an appropriate statement as an engagement ring. Joyful tears, such as those shed at a proposal or wedding, call to mind that sense of a strong emotional and romantic connection. For many, this eye-catching shape also represents boldness and empowerment. The unique style suggests originality, a strong will, and an independent mind. For those who want something a little different, the tapered teardrop of the pear shape cut is a standout choice. Secrets has an extensive range of pear cut rings, including the latest trends in engagment rings and dress rings.

Q: Are pear shaped rings and teardrop diamond rings the same thing?

Yes, the pear shape is also sometimes called a teardrop cut because of the shape of the stone: rounded at one end and tapered at the other. This is a combination of the round brilliant and the marquise cuts. The exact shape and size of the stone can vary from ring to ring, for example you can choose a more elongated and slender teardrop shape, or a shorter and wider cut. This is why it's a good idea to try a ring on before making your final choice. At your local Secrets Shhh boutique we can offer personalised styling advice to help you find your perfect match.

Q: Do pear cut rings look bigger than other cuts?

The elongated teardrop shape of the pear cut can make the stone look about 20% larger than the more traditional cuts, and in fact the top surface can be about 8% larger than a round cut - so it's not just an illusion! A pear shape or teardrop cut is therefore a great way of making a bigger impact with a smaller stone. The length to width ratio can vary, and comes down to personal preference. Most people choose a ratio between 1.55 and 1.75 for a balanced look.

Q: Are pear shaped cut rings more expensive?

No, the great news is that a pear cut diamond ring can actually cost less than a round diamond one with the equivalent carat weight stone. This is partly due to the popularity and prestige associated with the classic round brilliant cut and also the fact the dimaond cutters can yield a larger oval stone from the same piece of rough than a round diamond. The pear shape is rising in popularity and there are a lot of good reasons for this. The stone appears larger because of the stretched shape, and imperfections or impurities (sometimes called inclusions) are harder to see because of the cut. This is also a highly versatile choice of cut, suiting anything from a vintage setting to an ultra modern look. All of this means that you get a unique and personal ring, and a dazzling sparkle, without the premium price tag. At Secrets we have an amzing range of pear shaped engagment and dress rings all featurring the finest cut pear shaped stones.

The pear cut is unlike any other diamond cut. A unique and stunning style of diamond originating in 1475, this cut has stood the test of time. Originally called the 'teardrop,' it combines a round brilliant cut diamond and a marquise cut diamond, with one pointed end and one rounded end. Pear-shaped engagement rings are popular because their 58 facets allow maximum light refraction and greater sparkle.

Your pear-shaped ring can be set in various ways.

Halo. A collection of smaller stones surrounds one centre stone.
