What are the cons of a pear shaped diamond?
While we love pear shaped diamonds, there are some things to be careful of. If they are poorly cut, they can have what is known as the bow-tie effect, meaning there is a shadow resembling a bow tie in the middle of the gemstone. Additionally, the pointed end can be susceptible to chipping or damage, so it is important to choose a protective setting.
What is the best clarity grade for a pear shaped diamond?
When shopping for a pear shaped diamond, most people want one that is eye-clean. So go for SI1 or SI2. As the carat weight for this shape grows, so does its ability to show inclusions. If you are considering a stone that is 1 carats and up, you will want to look at higher clarity grades in order to choose a stone that is eye-clean.
How should I wear my pear shaped diamond ring?
However you want! But if you want to go traditional, the tapered end of your pear shaped diamond should point toward your fingernail.
How many prongs should a pear diamond have?
Because the pointed ends of pear shaped diamonds can be susceptible to chipping, it is important to choose a protective setting. Settings with at least five prongs, four on the sides and one at the point, is a very secure option.
Are pear shaped diamonds more expensive?
The price of pear shaped diamonds depends on a variety of factors, primarily the 4Cs: cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. When compared to other cuts of similar quality, pear shaped diamonds are often less expensive than, for example, round diamonds of the same carat weight and quality. Because less waste is produced when cutting this shape, there is less waste, resulting in a lower price tag.
Do pear shaped diamonds sparkle?
Yes! Pear shaped diamonds are “brilliant” cut diamond, which are faceted in triangular and kite shapes. In other words, they sparkle like crazy!
