Why Choose a Pear Shaped Stone?
Elegant and Unique Aesthetic
The pear shape offers a uniquely graceful silhouette with a soft, rounded end tapering to a delicate point. This asymmetrical shape creates a look that is both timeless and contemporary. When worn with the point facing outward toward the fingertip, pear shaped stones give the illusion of elongated fingers—making them a flattering option for many.
Many of ourMadison-area clients are drawn to the pear shape because it feels just a bit different from traditional round or princess cuts. It’s an excellent choice for clients who want their engagement ring to feel classic, but with a personal twist.
Versatility in Ring Design
Pear shaped stones are incredibly versatile. They shine brilliantly as:
-
Center stones in solitaire, halo, or bezel settings
-
Side stones paired with another shaped center stone
-
Accent stones in three-stone rings or asymmetrical designs
AtSoha Diamond Co., we’ve crafted a variety of styles using pear shapedlab-grown diamonds,moissanite, andcolored gemstones that allow our clients to express their individual style through custom, one-of-a-kind engagement rings.
