A pear shaped diamond ring

A interesting alternative to a marquise cut is the pear cut which is intermediate between the marquise cut and the standard round. A pear shaped diamond engagement ring is distinctive, and can be a little cheaper than a round for a given quality.

One interesting aspect of this cut is that it is asymmetrical and can therefore be worn two different ways, with the ‘pointed end’ toward or away from the body. Either way, the wedding ring can be tucked under the pointed end for a neat and clean appearance.

An interesting effect is to match your pear shaped engagement ring with pear cut earrings and/or a pear cut necklace.The combination of the unusual shape and the coordination between the pieces works very well.
