Like a marquise-cut gemstone, a pear-cut gemstone has an elongated shape, with one end rounded and the other end pointed. Also like the marquise, the pear cut’s unique shape shows off a strong personality in the wearer. As a perfect gem for an engagement ring, it is reminiscent of the tears of joy shed at a wedding, with all the shine and sparkle of the round brilliant cut.
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 can easily get chipped on the tapered end. The pear-shape cut is also referred to as a teardrop or pendeloque cut.
