Like a marquise-cut gemstone, a pear-cut gemstone has an elongated shape, with one end rounded and the other end pointed. It is a modified brilliant cut and has a versatile style making it good for a vintage, modern, or classic look. On the downside, pear-shaped gemstones tend to be delicate and easily chipped on the tapered end. The pear-shape cut is also referred to as a teardrop or pendeloque cut.
