GUIDANCE DIAMOND SHAPE PEAR

dshape-pear-dimond

UNIQUE - GENTLE - CONTEMPORARY

This shape is a blend of round and marquise cuts and so it shines gorgeously. The gorgeous stone is sometimes referred to as the Teardrop diamond. Its signature silhouette is instantly recognised and much beloved. The pear shape diamond is artistic due to its many stylish variations. With 58 facets, light dances through the diamond similar to a round brilliant, maximising sparkle. It's teardrop appearance leaves a lasting impression. Pear diamonds are a flattering shape, one you can set with the teardrop facing up or down. Pears also make for excellent accent stones, flanking other centre diamonds in any shape.

The pear cut diamond is long and can make a finger look thinner and longer. Pear cut diamonds can also be short or long with an optimal 1.50 ratio of length to width. Symmetry is a very important characteristic in pear shapes, more so than other fancy shapes. The wings should be rounded, even and aligned for maximum sparkle and beauty
