Pear Cut Engagement Rings
The pear cut diamond and pear cut engagement ring is one of the most distinctive shapes in fine jewellery, a teardrop silhouette that combines the rounded curves of the oval with the sharp, pointed tip of the marquise. The result is a stone of exceptional elegance. On the finger, a pear cut engagement ring creates a lengthening effect that is almost unmatched by any other shape, and it turns with the wearer in a way that catches the light from every possible angle.
At Bond Jewellery, our pear cut engagement rings are designed and crafted entirely in-house at our workshop in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter. Every stone is ethically sourced and our lifetime aftercare service covers every ring. Our team of designers and gemologists are here to help you find or create the pear cut engagement ring, made for you and your significant other.
A pear cut engagement ring is for those who are drawn to the individual, the elegant and the unexpected.
The Cut
What is a Pear Cut Diamond?
The pear cut, also known as the teardrop cut, is a modified brilliant cut with a rounded bottom and a single pointed tip at the top. It typically features 58 facets, arranged in the same brilliant pattern used in round and oval cuts, and delivers exceptional sparkle and fire. The combination of a curved base and a pointed apex gives the pear cut its unique, asymmetrical silhouette.
The point of a pear cut engagement ring is its most distinctive feature, though also its most vulnerable, as pointed tips concentrate stress and can chip if struck. Our team always recommends a claw or bezel setting that provides adequate protection for the tip, and will advise on the best setting for your chosen stone.
Comparison
How Does the Pear Cut Differ from Other Cuts?
The pear cut's closest relatives are the oval and the marquise, which share its elongated, brilliant-cut character. Compared to the oval, the pear cut has a more dramatic outline. The pointed tip creates a stronger visual focal point and a more directional ring. Compared to the marquise, which has pointed tips at both ends, the pear cut has a softer, rounded base that gives it a more feminine, romantic character.
The pear cut is also one of the most dramatically elongating of all diamond shapes, as its pointed end visually extends the apparent length of the finger more effectively than even the oval or marquise. For wearers who prioritise this quality, the pear cut is hard to surpass.
Like all elongated shapes, the pear cut can exhibit a bow-tie effect, a dark shadow across the centre of the stone. However, our gemologists carefully select stones for which this effect is minimal.
Bespoke Service
Can I Design a Bespoke Pear Cut Engagement Ring?
Yes. Our bespoke design service, based in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter, gives you full involvement in every aspect of your pear cut engagement ring's creation. The proportions of the pear, its length-to-width ratio and the sharpness of the tip are all particularly personal choices, and our gemologists will help you find a stone that looks most beautiful on the wearer's hand.
From stone selection through to setting style, orientation, metal and band detail, every decision is made with our guidance and your vision at the centre.

Book OnlineTraditionally, 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.
