A pear solitaire is one of the most distinctive engagement ring choices — the teardrop shape in a minimal setting creates a dramatic, elongating silhouette that needs no embellishment.

The pear shape combines the brilliance of a round with a pointed end that creates a distinctive teardrop silhouette. When worn with the point facing the fingertip, it elongates the finger beautifully. The pear is a statement shape that stands out from the crowd, favoured by those who want their ring to be as unique as their love story.

Warm, timeless, and universally flattering. 18K yellow gold contains 75% pure gold and has a rich, warm tone that has been the traditional choice for fine jewellery and engagement rings for centuries. Its natural colour will never fade or require re-plating.

The £1,000–£1,500 range opens up a wonderful selection of lab-grown diamond engagement rings with larger centre stones and more setting options. This is one of the most popular budget ranges for couples choosing lab-grown diamonds.

Pear solitaires are chosen by those who want maximum finger-elongating impact with clean simplicity.
