Pear Diamond Engagement Rings

Traditionally, a pear-shaped diamond is worn with the pointed end facing outward, away from the hand. This orientation elongates the finger and creates a flattering, elegant look. However, personal preference plays a significant role, and some people choose to wear it with the point facing inward like this two-stone diamond engagement ring or even tilted horizontally like this Wrap-Around Diamond Ring, and this Tilted Diamond Ring for a unique style.

When selecting a pear-shaped diamond, pay close attention to symmetry and the length-to-width ratio. A well-proportioned pear should have a pleasing balance between the rounded and pointed ends, without any noticeable bow-tie effect—a dark area in the center of the diamond. Also, ensure the diamond has excellent brilliance and that the point is protected by a prong in the setting to prevent chipping.

A 2-carat pear-shaped diamond generally ranges from $10,000 to $40,000, depending on the quality of the cut, color, and clarity. Higher-quality diamonds will be priced at the upper end of this range.

The shape combines the traditional round cut with a marquise, representing a teardrop or drop of water. This shape is often associated with emotions, tears of joy, and the idea of enduring love, making it a meaningful choice for an engagement ring. LOVE pears and want to see if it's right for you?
