Pear Cut Engagement Rings

Traditionally, the point of a pear cut diamond faces towards the fingernail when the ring is worn, creating a lengthening effect on the finger. However, there are no rules — some wearers prefer the point facing the hand, and others wear the stone horizontally in an east-west setting. The right orientation is simply the one that you prefer.

A claw or V-tip setting at the pointed end of the stone is the most effective way to protect it from chipping. Our team designs the setting around the specific geometry of the chosen stone and will always ensure that the tip receives adequate protection without the setting becoming visually dominant.

The pear cut works beautifully in all metals. Platinum and white gold maximise the visual brightness of a colourless stone and complement the sharp lines of the cut. Yellow and rose gold add warmth and soften the dramatic outline of the pear, creating a more romantic result. The right choice is entirely personal.
