Custom Design a Pear Shaped Diamond Ring

A Pear Shaped Diamond Engagement Ring is a unique hybrid of the round brilliant cut and Marquise cut. One end is perfectly round while the other narrows to the tapered point, which is why this cut is also referred to as the "teardrop cut". This special ring is usually worn with the tapered end towards the fingernail, visually slimming the finger of the wearer. It also creates an elongating effect for people with smaller hands and shorter fingers.

Because of the shape of the stone, inclusions and flaws may often be placed at the narrow point of the diamond. If the end is properly set with a prong, it is possible that these inclusions will be invisible once set. A prong on the sharp point will also help prevent damage to the narrow tip, which is the most delicate area of the stone. The elongated shape may suffer from a "bowtie effect", where a bowtie-shaped shadow may be seen inside the wider, round end of the stone. This will vary by each individual diamond and can only be determined upon visual inspection of images or the stone itself. Custom designed jewelry is an art form at Mark Broumand and everything from elegant and unique pear shaped diamond engagement rings to complete sets of fine jewelry can be created.
