\We will look deeper into why you should choose a Pear Shaped Engagement Rings and show you five brilliant Fink's Jewelers pear-shaped diamond rings which can express your and your partner's love and commitment.
Pear-shaped diamond - what is it?
Pear-shaped diamonds or gemstones originated from a combination of the marquise and oval cut, resulting in a cut pear-shaped diamond. Although they may seem very modern and current, pear-shaped diamonds were first invented in the middle of the 15th century in Flanders in modern-day Belgium within the workshops of a very famous diamond cutter named Lodewyk van Bercken. He also invented the diamond polishing wheel known as the "scaif." Van Bercken's discovery would soon make a permanent impression on the world of diamonds.
Since the discovery of the pear cut was about 500 years ago, diamond cutters have been busy trying to find that elusive ratio of length-to-width that will have the pear diamonds shine at their absolute maximum. However, since its discovery, the number of facets has remained the same; it has always had 58 facets as designed by van Bercken.
Diamond Shape vs. Diamond Cut
While there are many styles and many factors that go into the choice of the perfect engagement ring, there can certainly be said to be broad agreement on which one of the key features is most crucial: that of the central stone of the diamond ring and its cut. One important point of distinction is between "diamond shape" and "diamond cut."
The "diamond shape" is the general outline of a lying face-up diamond (e.g. round, square, oval). The "diamond cut" refers to the specific arrangement of facets of an individual stone, which ultimately determines the shape of the diamond and consequently influences the brilliance, scintillation, and dispersion of that stone.
Most Famous Diamond Shapes Styles for Engagement rings
Whether buying an engagement ring at present or just looking around at ideas of diamond rings down the road, it's a good idea to be familiar with the options and styles (and, of course, with your partner's preference in terms of ring style!). According to the International Gem Society, Pear-shaped engagement rings rank in being one of the most popular engagement ring styles for the year 2024. This is a pear-cut that accounts for about seven percent of all engagement rings, so it's a good choice when you want popular-but-not-too-popular.
Pros and Cons: Pear-Shaped Engagement Ring
There are pros and cons for choosing a pear-shaped engagement ring, just like with any type of diamond cut. On the plus side, pear-cut diamonds can provide greater value and have a larger surface area, so the stone looks bigger per carat than others. Also, they are quite pliable as a diamond can be set north-south, but, just like most wearers, one is allowed to wear it up or down; some designs even accommodate the pear off-centre.
Then of course, there are the downsides to the pear cut engagement ring. For one, the thin pointed tip of the teardrop on a diamond can easily make it fragile. To avoid this you want a prong set at the tip of the stone or more ideally a bezel that will encase the stone for maximum protection against chipping or wear. Because these cuts come with natural asymmetry, the pear cut might look a little unbalanced at times.
