Explore Pear Shaped Diamonds

Pear shaped diamonds combine a rounded end with a tapered point, creating their recognizable teardrop outline. Ouros Jewels offers loose pear lab grown diamonds across different carat weights, color and clarity grades, proportions, and cutting styles.

The collection includes classic brilliant-style pears alongside elongated, colored, step-cut, and other specialty pear diamonds. Shoppers comparing additional shapes can explore the broader lab grown diamonds collection.

What Is the Best Length-to-Width Ratio for a Pear Diamond?

Length-to-width ratio helps determine whether a pear diamond appears wider and fuller or longer and more elongated when viewed from the top.

A lower ratio creates a broader teardrop outline, while a higher ratio produces a slimmer, more elongated appearance. There is no single ratio that is best for every pear diamond; the right proportion depends on the silhouette you prefer and how the stone will look in its eventual setting.

Use the ratio as a starting point, then compare the diamond's actual measurements, outline, images, or video before making a final choice.

How to Choose a Pear Shaped Diamond

Beyond carat weight and grading information, pear diamonds have several shape-specific details worth checking.

• Symmetry: The curved sides should appear visually balanced around the centerline.
• Bow-tie: Pear diamonds may show a darker bow-tie area through the center. Its visibility varies between individual stones.
• Point: The tapered tip should appear balanced with the rounded end and overall outline.
• Color: Tint may appear differently across an elongated diamond, so consider the complete face-up appearance rather than the grade alone.
• Clarity: Review the position and visibility of inclusions as well as the clarity grade itself.

These details can make two pear diamonds with similar grading specifications look noticeably different when viewed side by side.

Classic and Specialty Pear Cut Diamonds

Loose Pear diamonds are available at Ouros Jewels with different facet patterns, proportions, and colors.

Classic brilliant-style pear diamonds use brilliant faceting for a lively appearance, while elongated pear diamonds create a narrower, longer silhouette. Step-cut pear diamonds use broader facets that produce a more structured visual pattern.

Depending on current inventory, Ouros Jewels may also offer pink, yellow, brown, black, and other colored pear diamonds for shoppers looking beyond the traditional colorless pear.

IGI & GIA Certified Pear Lab Grown Diamonds

Selected pear lab grown diamonds may be available with independent grading documentation from IGI or GIA, depending on the individual stone.

Grading documentation helps verify important characteristics of the diamond, which may include carat weight, color, clarity, measurements, proportions, polish, symmetry, and other stone-specific information depending on the laboratory and report format.

Shoppers specifically looking for graded stones can also explore certified loose diamonds.

Check the individual diamond listing to confirm whether certification is included, which laboratory issued the report, and the grading information provided for that stone.

Best Settings for Pear Shaped Diamonds

The pointed end of a pear diamond makes setting design especially important. Prongs can be positioned to protect the tip, while bezel settings can surround more of the diamond's outer edge. Halo settings add a border of smaller stones, and east-west designs rotate the pear horizontally for a different orientation.

The right setting depends on the diamond's proportions, how much of the outline you want exposed, and the overall ring design.

Pear Shaped Diamond FAQs

What is another name for a pear shaped diamond?

Pear shaped diamonds are often called teardrop diamonds because their outline combines a rounded end with a tapered point.

Is a wider or more elongated pear diamond better?

Neither is automatically better. Wider pear diamonds have a fuller outline, while elongated pears create a slimmer appearance. The preferred shape depends on personal taste and the setting in which the diamond will be used.

What is the bow-tie effect in a pear diamond?

The bow-tie effect is a darker area that can appear across the center of elongated brilliant-cut diamonds. Its prominence varies from stone to stone, so visual comparison is useful before selecting a diamond.

Are pear shaped diamonds available in different colors?

Yes. Ouros Jewels offers both colorless and colored pear lab grown diamonds, with specific colors depending on current inventory.

Can I buy an IGI or GIA graded pear lab grown diamond?

Eligible pear lab grown diamonds may be available with IGI or GIA grading documentation. Check the individual stone listing to confirm the laboratory and report included.

Does the pointed tip of a pear diamond need protection?

The pointed end is one of the more exposed areas of a pear diamond. A setting with appropriate prong or bezel coverage can help protect the tip during everyday wear.
