Pear Cut Lab Grown Diamond Engagement Rings

A pear cut combines a rounded end with a single point, giving it more finger coverage per carat than any rounded shape.

Buying Guide

Pear is a brilliant cut, which means it hides small inclusions the way a round does while spreading weight lengthwise like a marquise. Convention puts the point toward the fingernail, and it happens to be the flattering orientation, because the taper draws the eye along the finger and makes the hand read longer. The outline is asymmetric by design, so what to check is not the grade but whether the two shoulders mirror each other.

The point is the part that needs a decision. A sharp point concentrates impact, so every pear we set carries a V-prong over it rather than leaving it exposed. The other consequence is the wedding band: a straight band usually leaves a visible gap at the point, so most buyers here choose a contoured or notched band, and that is worth settling before the ring is made rather than after. Everything is IGI-certified, made to order, with free worldwide shipping and 65-day returns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which way should a pear shaped diamond point?

Point toward the fingernail. That is the convention and it is also the flattering one, because the taper draws the eye along the finger and makes it read longer. The point is set under a V-prong as standard on all 163 of our pear designs, which is what protects it in daily wear.

Is a pear shape hard to pair with a wedding band?

It needs thought, not compromise. A straight band will usually leave a visible gap at the point of a pear, so most buyers choose a contoured or notched band that follows the outline. We recommend deciding the engagement ring first and matching the band to it, and our team can advise on contour before you order.

Are pear and marquise shapes fragile?

The points are the vulnerable part, not the stone itself. A diamond is a 10 on the Mohs scale everywhere, but a sharp point concentrates impact. We set every pear and marquise with a V-prong over the point as standard, which is the accepted solution. Worn normally, a protected point is no more at risk than a round.

Which lab grown diamond shape looks largest for the carat?

Elongated shapes look largest. Oval, marquise and pear spread their weight along the finger rather than down into the stone, so a 1-carat oval reads close to a 1.2-carat round. Round and asscher carry more weight in depth and read smallest per carat. If visual size is the priority, we recommend starting with oval or marquise.

Can I change the shape after ordering?

No, not once production starts. Every Beyond Carat piece is made to order, so the shape is fixed at the point of order. If you need to change a specification, contact us on (888) 625-7772 as soon as possible and we will tell you honestly whether the piece has entered production yet.
