Pear Diamond (Drop Cut)

The pear-cut, or drop-cut, is a fluid shape that resembles a drop of water. A pear-cut is really a hybrid of the brilliant round-cut and marquise-cuts. Some of the largest diamonds ever mined have been shaped into pear-cuts. Some pear-cuts are elongated; others are wider in appearance.

Although pear-cut diamonds can be seen in a wide variety of jewelry, engagement rings and wedding rings are still the most popular jewelry items that exhibit the pear cut. The pear cut contains 58 facets, allowing light to pass through it and sparkle brilliantly.

The pear cut diamond is a modification of the traditional and extremely popular round-cut. Beyond the unique and obvious beauty of the pear cut diamond, the cut also offers the owner fantastic brilliance and sparkle similar in characteristic to the round cut diamond.
