What is a pear cut diamond?
The pear cut diamond is a timeless, vintage cut that represents an emotional bond connection. Like a round cut diamond, it is a brilliant cut known for high sparkle. These loose diamonds are shaped like a teardrop and blend the best attributes of round cut and marquise cut diamonds. Similar to the marquise diamond cut, a pear shaped diamond is long and can make a finger look thinner and longer. Pear cut diamonds can be short or long, depending on your preference.
Do pear cut diamonds look larger than other types?
Other than an eye-catching shape, pear-shaped diamonds have some great advantages over traditional round-cut diamonds. Because of their elongated shape, pear cuts look larger than a round diamond. But it is not just appearance, the way they are cut creates an 8% larger surface on their top. This means that even a small diamond will make a big impact.
