Pear-Shaped Diamonds: Where Grace Meets Brilliance

Pear-Shaped Diamonds: Where Grace Meets Brilliance

At TrueCut, we believe every diamond shape expresses a different kind of personality. The Pear-Shaped Diamond — also known as the teardrop diamond — captures two worlds at once: the symmetry of a round and the elegance of a marquise.

It’s a shape that symbolizes grace, individuality, and emotion — a blend of classic sparkle and soft romance. Whether you wear it pointing upward or downward, the pear shape always tells a story that feels beautifully personal.

The Art Behind the Pear Shape

The pear cut dates back to the 15th century, designed by Flemish craftsman Lodewyk van Bercken, the inventor of the diamond polishing wheel. His vision was to create a diamond that combined the brilliance of the round with the elongated beauty of the marquise — and the result remains one of the most flattering shapes ever created.

Today, TrueCut honors that legacy with precision-cut, lab-grown pear diamonds, polished to perfection for balance, symmetry, and light.

Each pear diamond is carefully crafted with 58 facets, engineered to maximize sparkle while maintaining perfect symmetry between its rounded and pointed ends.

Why People Love Pear Diamonds

  1. 💎 Visually larger appearance
    Pear-shaped diamonds appear 10–15% larger than round stones of the same carat weight due to their elongated form.

  2. 💫 Flattering and feminine
    The tapered point visually lengthens fingers, giving an elegant, graceful look.

  3. Unique brilliance
    As a hybrid of the round brilliant, the pear offers exceptional fire and sparkle.

  4. 💍 Distinctive personality
    Every pear diamond carries a sense of individuality — no two proportions are exactly alike.

The Science of the Perfect Pear

A truly beautiful pear diamond depends on proportion and symmetry:

  • Length-to-width ratio: Ideal between 1.45 and 1.60 for balanced elegance.

  • Cut quality: Excellent or Very Good for optimal light performance.

  • Bow-tie effect: Look for even brilliance across the diamond to avoid dark patches.

  • Tip protection: Always ensure the pointed end is secured by a prong or bezel.

At TrueCut, every pear-shaped diamond is lab-grown, certified, and ethically sourced — ensuring beauty that’s as honest as it is radiant.
